Aging In Place

Your home is a special place. It’s where you feel the safest and most secure. But very few homes are ready for senior living. Fall-related injuries can lead to more serious harm and hold older adults back from enjoying a comfortable and confident life.

Create independence in your home or for loved ones with Pipe Railing kits and accessories from Century Aluminum Railings. Our durable, maintenance-free components are easy to install and are endlessly diverse for indoor and outdoor applications. In just a few steps, you will have strong and stylish handrails to take you from upstairs to downstairs, down the hall, or out the front door.

Addressing emergencies before they happen is crucial when planning for aging in place. Adequate health and social supports are essential to enable individuals to live safely and independently in their own homes or communities for an extended period.

Take control of living well at home.

Aging in place can look streamlined and chic. Pipe railing and accessories come in a range of sophisticated colour and finish customizations.

Updating a home to include accessibility features such as handrails and grab bars shouldn’t limit you to clunky products that take away from the look of your home. Choose sleek, continuous pipe railing in textured matte black, gloss white, or textured lakeside copper.

Additionally, consider the importance of things like low cost transportation services to maintain independence and access to essential activities as individuals age.
