Do you have round doorknobs in your house?
You might want to switch those out with lever-style handles. All it takes is a screwdriver. Lever handles tend to be more user-friendly than round knobs. Here are a few more inexpensive, user-friendly home upgrades:
• Switch to rocker light switches. They are larger and easier to operate – and let you turn on a light with your elbow if your hands are full. They’re also easier to find in the dark.
• Raise an outlet or two. Wall outlets that are close to the floor can be hard to reach. You’ll love having a few key outlets, like those used for the vacuum or chargers, up a little higher. You’ll need an electrician for that job.
• Lower your microwave. Many contractors and home owners like to save space by mounting microwave ovens above the stove or high on a wall. That’s a bad spot because it means you’ll be reaching above your head to get hot food – and kids often have to climb something to reach it.
