At Design & Remodel Brothers, we’ve proudly served families across Woodstock, Canton, and Cherokee County who are looking to make smart, compassionate choices for their aging loved ones. One of the most important remodeling services we provide is age-in-place conversions—because we believe that seniors deserve to age with dignity, comfort, and independence in the homes they love.
In today’s economy, the cost of nursing homes and assisted living facilities has reached staggering levels. Many families are now realizing that modifying a home for accessibility is not only more affordable, but it’s more personal and sustainable for the long term.
The Cost of Nursing Homes vs. Aging in Place
In Georgia, the average monthly cost of a nursing home can exceed $7,000, and many private facilities can charge even more. Within just a few short years, a family may end up spending over $100,000, money that could have been invested in permanent, value-added improvements to their home.
Whether in Woodstock, Canton, or other parts of Cherokee County, families are looking for ways to keep their parents and grandparents in the comfort of their own homes, rather than moving them to unfamiliar and costly institutions. Age-in-place remodeling is a practical, affordable solution.
Our Expertise in Age-in-Place Remodeling
At Design & Remodel Brothers, we specialize in accessible home remodeling for elderly and disabled homeowners. This includes:
- Curbless showers and walk-in tubs
- Non-slip flooring throughout high-traffic areas
- Wider doorways and hallway expansions for wheelchairs and walkers
- Grab bars and reinforced railings in bathrooms, bedrooms, and hallways
- ADA-compliant kitchen updates with lower counters, pull-out shelves, and smart appliance placement
- Stair alternatives, including ramps, chair lifts, and first-floor bedroom conversions
Our team doesn’t cut corners. We understand that these remodels need to be done right the first time. Mistakes in age-in-place work, like improperly installed grab bars or poorly designed shower entries, can pose real dangers. That’s why our experienced craftsmen use top-quality materials, proven methods, and most importantly, a deep respect for the people we’re building for.
Safety, Comfort, and Value—Built-In
When you choose to remodel with age-in-place in mind, you’re not just preparing for today; you’re preparing for tomorrow. A home that’s safe, accessible, and easy to navigate can give peace of mind to both seniors and their families.
In fact, many families across Cherokee County are proactively remodeling before an emergency happens. A fall, surgery, or a medical diagnosis shouldn’t be the moment you start thinking about making a home safer. That’s why we encourage early planning and thoughtful design tailored to each unique situation.
