That’s why we’re dedicated to providing residents of Houghton and other communities throughout the Upper Peninsula with the premium aging-in-place products and services they need to continue leading fulfilling and independent lives for as long as possible. As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), we have an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by older homeowners who may use mobility devices such as walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters. We also know how difficult it can sometimes be for the caregivers of individuals with severely restricted mobility to perform the duties necessary to keep their loved one clean, comfortable, and happy. Thankfully, for nearly every problem, there is an aging-in-place solution, and our team is ready to put their expertise to work for you.

Improve Accessibility in Every Room of Your House

When you turn to the Barrier Free Store for your home accessibility needs, you’ll be partnering with a local Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist that has helped thousands of customers renovate their homes to perfectly suit their physical capabilities. The process starts with a no-obligation consultation. One of our specialists will visit your home to conduct a thorough evaluation. Some of the areas that often require alterations include:

  • Stairwells – We can install new handrails to provide a steadying support every step of the way, or a stair lift that will transport you from one floor to the next in a comfortable, motorized chair.
  • Kitchens – High storage areas are difficult if not impossible to reach from a seated position. We can replace your standard cupboards with pull-down shelves that lower with just the pull of a handle. We can also install pull-down closets.
  • Bathrooms – From grab bars to walk-in tubs and custom bath systems, we can transform your bathroom into a fully ADA-compliant facility that will allow you to bathe in comfort and confidence.

To learn more about our aging-in-place products and services, contact the Barrier Free Store today and schedule your initial meeting. We’re the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist Houghton residents can count on for all their mobility-related renovation projects.

“My dad’s strength deteriorated over a short period of time due to medicines he needed to take. Your company provided prompt service. We most appreciated the person who had the foresight to have a stair lift in stock because my dad basically needed an emergency installation for his safety and mine, so we could safely get upstairs. Thank you to everyone for your kindness and quick assistance at a difficult time. My dad loves the lift!”
