Homeowners should consider the limitations of old age when planning kitchen renovations, it has been suggested.According to the Bellingham Herald, there are a number of simple adjustments that can be made in the kitchen to account for the decreased strength, vision and balance that often comes from aging or illness.Speaking to the news provider, occupational therapist Ken Eastham added that the focus of such changes should be to make cooking tasks easier.Cooking is good exercise, and its a leisure task that can help people psychologically, especially if they invite friends over to eat, he said.Elsewhere, it was observed that one of the easiest and most obvious adjustments is to use lighter-weight pots and pans, while frailer people should also be urged to fill up pans with less water for ease of carry, the Bellingham Herald said. Meanwhile, as article by the International News last week claimed that homeowners can be more eco-friendly in their water use by developing new ways of using their kitchen sink and taps.
