Kitchen Remodeler in Kansas City Ensures That a Kitchen is Easy on Everyone Including the Elderly
Country Club Builders are promoters of ‘Universal Design’– a concept where people of all age groups and varying limits of physical ability can access every corner of a home

In the days of yore, kitchens were primarily designed with just women in mind. But with changing influences it’s become important for the kitchen to be accessed by everyone; from toddlers and teenagers, to men, women, and the differently- abled. Country Club Builders, a Kansas City based kitchen remodeler ensures that their designs incorporate the different aspects of the Universal Design concept in their remodeling projects.
The changes can be as small as installing lights under kitchen cabinets and height-adjustable countertops. It can also be as drastic as widening the doorway to allow people on wheelchairs to access the kitchen. The concept is largely associated with the disabled, but the spokesperson for Country Club begs to differ; “Designs using the Universal Design concept have a broad appeal and provide practical and feasible solutions for everyone, including the disabled”, he says.
“When we introduce this concept to clients, we highlight the fact that incorporating these principles can make their house accessible even when they become old. And this can be done in style; without the house having to look like a geriatric ward,” he adds.
The fact that this principle can be incorporated even on a remodeling project adds to its value. Thus people, who’ve decided that they are going to age within the comforts of their home or those who’ve had to cope with a sudden illness or injury that has left them impaired can, renovate their use.
The Kansas City kitchen remodeling company has used this principle for all their services, including bathroom, basement and deck remodeling. They also suggest the idea during room addition projects.
Bathroom renovations include simple and complex changes. This includes installing shower stalls that do not have a high step, installing reversible hinges, installing bath tubs with built-in seats, installing grab bars to help people get in and out of the tub etc.
“For clients who still have a long time to go before they get their first grey hair, we suggest minor changes, like reinforcing bathroom tiles to install grab bars at a later stage” says the spokesperson. The Kansas City bathroom remodeler provides a 5 year warranty for their work.
Mundane tasks like taking a shower assume herculean proportions for the elderly and the disabled. Rather than doing a complete overhaul when old, it makes sense to incorporate changes whenever people undertake to renovate their home.
