Aging in Place Home Safety for Houston Area Seniors

Houston's sprawling footprint means our assessment team strategically routes consultations using the **I-10 Katy Freeway** for families in **Katy** and **Cypress**, the **I-45 Gulf Freeway** for **Clear Lake** and **Pearland** residents, and **US-290** for communities north of the city. The **I-610 Loop** connects us efficiently to **Memorial**, **Galleria-area** homes, and central Houston neighborhoods. For families in **The Woodlands** and **Sugar Land**, we schedule dedicated assessment days to maximize our presence in these growing communities. We coordinate with Texas-licensed contractors who understand Harris County building codes and the unique demands of Houston's hot, humid climate.

Houston's housing ranges from sprawling single-story ranch homes in **Katy** and **Sugar Land** to two-story suburban builds in **The Woodlands** and **Cypress**, plus older brick homes in established neighborhoods like **Memorial** and **Meyerland**. While many Houston homes are single-story, which reduces stair-related risks, bathroom modifications remain critical. Houston bathrooms often feature standard tubs that pose significant fall hazards for seniors. Walk-in tub conversions, curbless shower installations, and anti-slip tile flooring are our most common recommendations. For two-story homes, we assess stair lift needs and evaluate the feasibility of main-floor bedroom and bathroom conversions. Garage-to-house transitions and entryway thresholds are also priority areas given Houston's frequent rain events.
