Multigenerational Remodeling: Making Your Home Safer, More Accessible, and Ready for Everyone

Multigenerational living is exactly what it sounds like: Multiple generations living under one roof. The problem is that most homes aren’t designed to support a family where everyone has different needs and abilities.

If you need to accommodate a loved one with a disability, or are creating a space for multiple generations to live comfortably, we’re here to help. At Stella Contracting, we specialize in home renovations that make your space more accessible, safer, and more welcoming for everyone.

Our goal is simple: to help you create a home that works for you, your family, and your guests—now and for years to come.

How We Can Help:

• Accessible Bathrooms for easier use
• Wider Doorways to accommodate walkers and wheelchairs
• Kitchens Designed for Comfort and Ease
• Extra Bedroom and Bathroom Space to allow you to stay in your home rather than a care facility

Designing a Home That Works for All

Accessible home design isn’t just about meeting a physical need; it’s about creating spaces that work better for everyone, regardless of age or mobility. Whether you’re planning for the future or adjusting to a current challenge, our designs help make sure your home is ready to support your needs—today and down the road.

What Does Accessible Design Look Like?

We approach each project with care, keeping in mind the diverse needs of people of all ages and abilities. A bathroom remodel might include wider doorways and a roll-in shower to accommodate mobility aids—making the space easier to use now, but also preparing for any future needs. Whether you’re living with a disability, aging in place, or just need a more user-friendly home, we’ll design spaces that make your life easier.

Designing for the Future

It’s always a good idea to think ahead when it comes to home renovations. For example, adding extra space in a bathroom for wheelchair access might feel like a luxury today, but it’s an investment in the future. These thoughtful, future-proof design choices not only make life easier now but also ensure that your home continues to meet your needs as they evolve.

Accessible Bathrooms: Safety and Comfort

When it comes to bathrooms, accessibility is key. We believe that an accessible bathroom should be a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and independent. Our bathroom remodels can include:

• Barrier-free showers (like roll-in or walk-in showers with seating options)
• Grab bars and handrails to help with balance and safety
• Extra space for easy movement, even with a wheelchair or walker

We focus on features that give you the independence to care for yourself or the support to be cared for—while also making sure the design still feels like home.

Multigenerational Kitchens: Easier and Safer Cooking

The kitchen is where we spend a lot of time—cooking, eating, and gathering with family. We believe your kitchen should work for you, no matter your mobility needs. We’ll help you create a kitchen that’s not only accessible but also enjoyable to use. Here’s what we might include:

• Lower cabinets for easier access
• Roll-under sinks and stoves to make it possible to sit while cooking
• Appliances at the right height to make them easier to reach
• Hands-free or lever faucets to make washing up simple

These modifications make cooking and daily tasks feel more manageable, allowing you to focus on the things you love

Master Suites: Comfort for All Generations

A master suite isn’t just a luxury—it can make daily life much easier, especially if you’re living with someone who needs extra care or if your family spans multiple generations. We’ll help you create a master suite that meets everyone’s needs, featuring:

• A larger bedroom with plenty of space for mobility aids
• Walk-in closets for easy access and organization
• A bathroom with accessible features, such as a no-threshold shower and ADA-compliant toilet

Whether you’re looking for a space to relax and unwind or a more functional setup, a master suite designed for accessibility can make all the difference.

Multigenerational Common Areas: Creating Space for Everyone

Shared spaces like the living room, hallways, and entryways should be easy to navigate for everyone in your household. We focus on creating common areas that are:

• Open and spacious, allowing room for movement
• Equipped with wider doorways to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers
• Well-lit, including natural light to enhance visibility
• Fitted with low-maintenance flooring for easier upkeep

These adjustments make your home safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Outdoor Spaces: Accessibility Beyond the Front Door

Accessibility doesn’t stop inside the house. We can also help you make your outdoor spaces safer and easier to navigate. Considerations for the exterior of your home might include:

• Wider walkways to make outdoor navigation easier
• Modular or custom ramps for wheelchair access
• No-threshold entrances to make entry seamless

These improvements ensure that your home’s exterior is just as welcoming and accessible as the inside.

We focus on features that give you the independence to care for yourself or the support to be cared for—while also making sure the design still feels like home.
