ADA Senior Upgrade Package

Published by Redline Republic | July 2025

The Problem

An elderly couple in Spring Valley reached out after one of them experienced a bad fall in the hallway. Their home wasn’t designed for aging — narrow doorways, slippery tile, high tub edge, and poor lighting.

They weren’t ready to move out — but staying safe at home meant making changes fast.

The Redline Solution: ADA Design for Aging in Place

We walked the home and built a custom ADA Senior Upgrade Plan tailored to their space, needs, and mobility level.

✅ What We Upgraded:

🚪 Doorways

– Widened to 36” for walker access
– Replaced all knobs with lever-style handles

🛁 Bathroom

– Removed tub, installed zero-threshold shower
– Slip-resistant tile and built-in bench
– Reinforced wall for grab bars
– ADA-height toilet with side clearance
– Roll-under sink option added

🌙 Lighting

– Motion sensor lights in hallway and bathroom
– Added overhead lighting in entry and kitchen
– Smart switch controls + voice-enabled setup

🪟 Flooring

– Removed slick tile
– Installed ADA-rated vinyl planks with grip texture

🛠 Safety

– Raised electrical outlets and lowered switches
– No-step entry with slope ratio under 1:12
– Front pathway widened and regraded

📍 Why Spring Valley Was the Right Time + Place

Spring Valley’s layout allowed for smooth ramp design and flexible interior modifications. Plus, the couple received a small accessibility grant from a local organization — we helped coordinate all documentation.

💬 Ronnie’s Take:

“This wasn’t about making a ‘medical-looking’ home.
It was about giving peace of mind, keeping dignity, and building safety into the everyday.”
