Philadelphia Aging in Place Modifications for Safer Senior Living

Our Philadelphia team provides aging-in-place assessments across the entire city and surrounding suburbs. We reach **Center City** and **South Philly** via the **Broad Street** corridor, **Chestnut Hill** and **Germantown** through **Lincoln Drive** and **Germantown Avenue**, and **Northeast Philadelphia** via **Roosevelt Boulevard**. For suburban families in **King of Prussia** and **Media**, we use the **I-76 Schuylkill Expressway** and **I-476 Blue Route**. Our assessors know the parking challenges in **Center City** and the narrow street access in **South Philly**, planning accordingly to arrive on time for every consultation.

Philadelphia's iconic **row homes** and **brownstones** create some of the most challenging aging-in-place situations in the country. These multi-story homes feature steep, narrow staircases with sharp turns at landings, small bathrooms on upper floors, and elevated front entries with concrete steps, all of which pose serious fall risks for seniors. In **South Philly** and **Center City**, two-story and three-story row homes almost always require stair lift installations, bathroom grab bars, and front-entry ramp solutions. **Chestnut Hill** and **Germantown** feature larger stone and brick homes with similar multi-floor challenges. The twin homes and colonial properties in **Northeast Philadelphia** and suburban areas like **King of Prussia** and **Media** present more standard modification needs, though bathroom conversions remain a priority across all property types.
