At NYCO, we understand that each client has a story, and their home is an expression of it. We created Future-Ready Renovations out of seeing a real need in our community. Much of the Greater Moncton Area consists of an aging population that deserves to feel as dignified and cared for as any other.

We take the time to assess your existing space using our comprehensive aging in place remodelling checklist designed alongside industry professionals. We approach this field with custom solutions that are both practical and actually look good. Whether it’s renos for aging in place, bathroom remodelling, or minor improvements around the house, we strive to make your daily living easier, safer, and more comfortable.

Bathrooms are one of the most hazardous areas in a house, where slips and falls are most common, particularly among elderly individuals. That’s why an aging in place bathroom remodel is one of the best safety upgrades you can make. And it’s also the reason we focus heavily on fall prevention.

Our team prioritizes both comfort and confidence. Features that are most common include:

  • Roll-in or walk-in showers that have hand-held showerheads
  • Slip-resistant flooring to minimize the risk of falls
  • Grab bars near toilets, showers, and tubs
  • Shower seats or benches
  • Comfort-height toilets for easier transfers
  • Bathtub transfer bench or curbless tub conversion
  • Touchless/Lever-style faucets

Every detail matters. Whether you need a total overhaul or targeted aging in place bathroom renovations, we will do our best to ensure that you remain independent with dignity. Most importantly, we do not sacrifice the look; your bathroom can be both safe and beautiful.

You shouldn’t lose the freedom to move around your house as time goes by. Our mobility modifications for aging in place are designed to remove physical barriers without compromising the beauty of your living space.

These improvements vary depending on the layout of your home and your lifestyle. Common upgrades include:

  • Wider doorways to support mobility aids such as walkers or wheelchairs
  • No-step entryways
  • Multi-level access stair lifts or railings
  • Smart exterior lighting and interior movement sensor lights for visibility and ease
  • Easy-to-open doors and lever hardware

We use our detailed Future-Ready aging in place remodelling checklist to make sure we don’t overlook a single thing. We bring a client-centric approach to everything we do. That’s why we manage the project from start to finish. With over 18 years of experience, we’re very proud to maintain strict standards in quality.

Front steps shouldn’t be a barrier. We focus on homeowners who need a safe, reliable way to enter and exit their home with a mobility device. Properly built ramps don’t just make entering and exiting easier, they prevent injury and even save lives.

Aging in place should feel like a comfortable, seamless transition of life. Rather than worrying about recovering from a fall, you should feel Future-Ready with preventative accessibility options.

We include such features as:

  • Ramps for entryways
  • Chair lifts

Everything we do is focused on subtlety and compliance to local codes. We are AdaptivHome™ certified by the Canadian Home Builder’s Association. Our aging in place renovations are made to accommodate independence without compromising beauty and functionality.

Future-Ready: Aging in Place Renovations - FAQs

What is considered an aging in place renovation?

An aging in place renovation is any home modification that enhances the safety, accessibility, and comfort of people who desire to stay in their homes as they age. This may include such basic modifications as grab bar installations, or more comprehensive aging in place bathroom remodelling and structural home modifications, such as enlarging door frames or adding stair lifts.

These are not merely reactive remodelling, but proactive renovations. The goal is to prevent accidents before they occur and enable homeowners to remain independent for as long as possible. An effective aging in place remodelling initiative does not change the resident to suit the home but the home to suit the resident.

When is the right time to start planning for aging in place?

The most appropriate moment to start planning is when accessibility is not a need. Delaying until a fall or health problem happens is a common cause of hasty decisions and increased expenses. Planning early will allow you to focus on the projects, research, and identify the right contractor.

By addressing the potential challenges of today, such as outdated bathrooms or narrow corridors, you can make the space safer and more habitable in the future. There can be more freedom and comfort tomorrow, whether you are planning your retirement or helping a loved one. Investing in aging in place renovations today can bring more freedom and comfort tomorrow.

How much do aging in place renovations cost?

The prices will depend on the size of the house, the number of rooms to be used, and the amount of work involved. A small bathroom remodel for aging in place, for example, may begin with a few thousand dollars, whereas full home renovations for seniors, including kitchens, bathrooms and accessibility improvements, may cost much more.

The quality of materials and labour should also be taken into account, as it influences long-term value. We provide transparent estimates and customization to fit different budgets at NYCO. We also assist clients in investigating home renovation grants for seniors in NB that can help alleviate the financial strain.

Can I get financial assistance for aging in place upgrades?

Yes, numerous homeowners can be eligible for home renovation grants for seniors, particularly in New Brunswick. Local municipalities, provincial agencies or nonprofit organizations usually provide such grants or incentive programs. They can pay a portion of the cost of necessary aging in place home modifications, including walk-in showers, ramps, stair lifts, and others.

NYCO assists clients in navigating these programs—knowing who is eligible to apply to programs, and pointing you in the right direction. Through the integration of professional renovation services and the financial assistance provided, we will make sure that more families can afford safety and accessibility upgrades.

Do you need a permit for aging in place renovations?

The permits are usually necessary, particularly when it comes to renovations that involve structural, plumbing, or electrical alterations. For example, the installation of a stair lift, exterior ramp, or electrical systems to improve lighting is typically subject to municipal approval.

We obtain all the necessary permits and inspections at NYCO on your behalf to ensure that your aging-in-place renovations comply with New Brunswick building codes and safety standards, as well as city regulations. This relieves you of the burden and makes your renovation both legal and sustainable, with no expensive surprises in the future.

Are these renovations only for seniors with disabilities?

No, these renovations are perfect for anyone who wants to plan ahead of aging or changing needs, not only for those who are already experiencing mobility issues. Indeed, aging in place remodelling is being adopted by many active adults in their 50s and 60s to make sure that their homes will accommodate them well into their retirement.

The renovations can be minor and elegant, such as the low countertops, safer floors, or better lighting that will make your house more practical without turning it into a hospital. It is about maintaining your way of life, your comfort, and your independence, way before you have any pressing needs.

How long do aging in place renovations usually take?

Timelines are based on the project scope. One aging in place bathroom remodel can be completed in a timeframe as short as a few days, whereas a more extensive renovation of several rooms and accessibility modifications can take weeks. The planning phase, consultations, design approvals, and permits also consume time, but they guarantee improved outcomes.

NYCO develops a transparent and tailored project plan for each client. We inform you of schedules in advance and update you frequently to ensure that you are not left guessing about what to do next. We aim to provide quality aging-in-place home modifications at an efficient level with minimal inconvenience to your daily life. We believe in equipping the Greater Moncton Area to be Future-Ready.
