Are you over 60 and cherish the idea of continuing to live in your beloved home as you age? You’re not alone. Many individuals like you aspire to “age in place,” staying in their familiar surroundings, and maintaining their independence and connection to their community. I’m Ryan Salmon, and I’ve dedicated a decade to occupational Therapy with 20 years of construction experience. I’m also the proud owner and founder of “Safe Accessible Home.” My mission is to help individuals and their families make their homes safe, stylish, and inclusive spaces for Aging gracefully.

Age in Place: It’s About Your Comfort

Aging in place doesn’t mean sacrificing style and comfort for safety. It’s about creating a home that adapts to your changing needs while remaining aesthetically pleasing. You don’t have to turn your home into a sterile hospital-like environment; there are countless ways to modify your living space to seamlessly blend functionality and style.

Visitability: Welcoming All in Your Home

In addition to ensuring your home accommodates your needs, it’s essential to think about your friends and family members who may have mobility challenges or disabilities. This is where the concept of “visitability” comes in. Visitability focuses on making your home accessible to everyone, ensuring that friends and family can visit without encountering obstacles.

The Safe Accessible Home Approach

At Safe Accessible Home, I believe that a safe and stylish home is achievable for everyone. Here’s how I can help you achieve it:

1. Expertise in Occupational Therapy and Construction

With my background in occupational therapy and a contractor’s license, I bring a unique blend of skills to your home modification project. I understand the physical and functional aspects of aging and can customize your home to meet your specific needs, ensuring your safety and comfort.

2. Virtual Assessments: Convenience and Safety

My virtual home safety and accessibility assessments, conducted through platforms like Zoom, offer a convenient and safe way to evaluate your home. You don’t need to worry about in-person visits or disruptions to your daily routine. Instead, we can collaborate remotely to assess your needs and develop a personalized plan.

3. Aesthetic Solutions

Your home is a reflection of your personality and style. I take pride in offering aesthetically pleasing home modification solutions that seamlessly integrate with your existing decor. From elegant grab bars to stylish ramps, we ensure that your home remains visually appealing.

4. Inclusivity and Visitability

We understand the importance of creating a home that’s welcoming to all. Our modifications not only cater to your needs but also consider the comfort of your friends and family members with mobility challenges or disabilities. With visitability in mind, your home becomes a gathering place for everyone.

5. Quality and Safety

My commitment to quality ensures that the modifications I suggest for your home meet the highest safety standards. I take your peace of mind seriously and ensure that every aspect of your home is designed to keep you safe.

Your Home, Your Future

Aging in place is a beautiful journey that allows you to maintain your independence, comfort, and connection with your loved ones. With Safe Accessible Home, you can take proactive steps to create a safe, stylish, and inclusive living space that evolves with you.

Don’t wait to make your home a sanctuary for the years ahead. Reach out to us today, and let’s begin planning for a future where you can age in place gracefully, surrounded by the beauty and functionality you deserve. Your dream home is just a click or a call away!

Ryan Salmon Home Safety / Accessibility Specialist

For the past decade, I have been an occupational therapist primarily serving older adults in the home and community. My background in construction has played a huge role in how I support people in tailoring their environment to meet their needs as it relates to maintaining their safety and accessibility for daily activities. I now have my contractors license again and am providing home assessments as well as doing the actual modifications to assist those who wish to continue living in their home for as long as possible. During the pandemic, I was able to support my baby boomer parents with home modification decisions that allowed my father to live out his remaining days in the home as he always desired. This experience, along with personally living in a remote area, lead to my transition to providing virtual home safety and accessibility consultations. My goal is to support people through the entire process from start to finish with assessments over zoom, with photos, videos, gathering data with lidar technology if possible, developing a plan, locating the best contractors for the job, being the liaison between the clients and the contractors and follow up assessments. I am available for medically necessary cases in Alaska, and preparatory cases anywhere else on the planet so if you are planning for the future, feel free to reach out.
