Senior-Safe Bathroom Remodel Guide for Tampa Bay Homeowners

Tampa Bay has one of Florida's densest aging-in-place remodel markets — Sun City Center and Kings Point in south Hillsborough, Largo and Pinellas Park in central Pinellas, New Port Richey and Hudson in west Pasco, and Spring Hill in Hernando.

What to prioritize first

If you can only do one thing, replace the tub with a walk-in or low-threshold shower. Stepping over a tub wall is the #1 fall risk in the bathroom for anyone over 65.

Low-threshold or curbless walk-in shower
Slip-resistant flooring and shower pan texture
Properly anchored grab bars (not suction cups)
Comfort-height toilet
Hand-held shower wand on a slide bar
Built-in shower bench or fold-down seat
Lever-style faucets instead of knobs
