Kitchen the Heart of The Home

The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home, a place where delicious meals are prepared and cherished memories are created. It serves as a gathering spot for families and friends to enjoy meals together and share in fellowship. For many, it is one of the most treasured rooms in the house.


However, individuals living with limited mobility or disabilities—whether due to injury or the effects of aging—frequently encounter challenges and obstacles within the kitchen. Restrictions in range of motion can make reaching high cabinet shelves for storage or retrieval difficult. Additionally, confined, poorly designed floor spaces can lead to frustration for those who rely on walkers or canes, ultimately hindering their ability to navigate and enjoy the kitchen.

Safe and Happy Kitchens

Our goal at Red Rose Improvements is to design safe and happy kitchens that allow people to remain in their homes independently. We are specially trained to identify risks associated with aging in living spaces. Some things we consider when modifying a kitchen:


  • Are the Cabinets Easy to Open?
  • Are Dishes Within Reach?
  • Can a Senior or Loved One Sit While Cooking or Preparing Meals?
  • Are Countertops Installed at A Comfortable Height?
  • Are Stove Controls Within Reach and Simple to Use?
  • Are There Slipping Hazards?
  • Is There Enough Appropriate Lighting?


Red Rose Improvements is a Certified Aging In Place Specialist (CAPS), which means we have been trained to anticipate and meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities in their living spaces. We are trained in strategies and techniques for identifying barriers in a home.


Our CAPS certification and training come as part of The Certified Aging in Place Program that was developed by the National Association of Home Builders along with the AARP. We are proud to be part of this valuable program!
