Aging in Place Remodeling: Things to Consider for the Kitchen Sink

In recent years, the kitchen has become more than a place to prepare meals, and as our families grow so should our remodeling options.  Most of the work in the kitchen revolves around the kitchen sink, and there are some things to consider for your next kitchen remodel to make aging in place more manageable.

Roll under sinks are a great way to make the wheelchair bound feel included and productive in the cooking process.  These sinks have some open space below them so that they are wheel chair accessible. One thing to remember is to level out the floor below.

Consider placing the faucet and sprayer on the side of the sink for easy reaching.  Also, be sure to include a hands-free or lever operated faucet.

Another addition to make aging in place easier is installing an anti-scald device to ensure no one gets burned. You can also make sure that water filtering devices can be reached by everyone and is at a comfortable height.
