Aging in Place: Home Modifications for Independent Living in Sioux Falls

Stay in the Home You Love, Safely and Comfortably

Home is where your memories are, and at Mullen’s RPM, we believe you shouldn’t have to leave those memories behind just because your mobility needs are changing. Aging in Place is the process of modifying your existing home to ensure it remains safe, accessible, and functional for your “golden years.”

Serving the greater Sioux Falls area, Mitchell Mullen specializes in the technical home modifications that reduce fall risks and make daily tasks easier. From small safety updates to larger accessibility projects, we help Sioux Falls seniors maintain their independence with dignity.

Essential Home Safety & Accessibility Upgrades

We focus on “Universal Design”—changes that look great but make a world of difference in how you navigate your home. Our Aging in Place services in Sioux Falls, Brandon, Canton, Harrisburg, Lennox, Tea, Hartford, and Renner include:

  • Bathroom Safety: Installation of heavy-duty grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and walk-in shower conversions or slip-resistant flooring.

  • Enhanced Lighting: Adding motion-sensor lighting in hallways, brighter LED fixtures, and illuminated pathways to prevent nighttime trips and falls.

  • Entryway & Mobility: Construction of custom ramps, widening of doorways to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs, and installation of lever-style door handles for easier grip.

  • Smart Home Integration: Setting up voice-activated thermostats, video doorbells, and automated lighting systems that can be controlled without getting up.

  • Kitchen Adjustments: Installing pull-out shelving, lowering work surfaces, and updating faucets to single-lever models for those with limited hand strength.

Why Trust Mullen’s RPM with Your Home Modifications?

Modifying a home for a senior requires a specialized eye. It’s not just about “fixing” things; it’s about anticipating future needs. At Mullen’s RPM, we combine our “RPM” (Remodeling & Property Maintenance) expertise with a deep respect for our clients’ homes. We are locally owned and operated right here in South Dakota, meaning we are just a phone call away when you need a maintenance check or a new safety upgrade. We don’t just build ramps; we build peace of mind for you and your family.
