Detail design focuses on safety and convenience
According to designer Yu Zhong, compared with ordinary decoration, the old mansion design must take care of the safety and convenience of daily operations of the elderly from the details. Therefore, before the renovation, the client should communicate with the designer more and let the designer fully understand the elderly person's body. Condition and actual needs.
In order to ensure that the elderly, especially those in wheelchairs, can move easily, indoor floors should avoid changes in height and height, such as thresholds and steps. Even if there is a change in the ground, you should use a small slope to make the transition. Since the capabilities of the elderly may be degraded in various aspects, changes in the color of the ground may cause the elderly to make wrong judgments about the level of the ground and affect normal walking. For the sake of safety, the ground color should be as uniform as possible. In the hall, living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc., some auxiliary armrests with diameters and heights of 4 cm and 90 cm may be provided at intervals, and the material is preferably waterproof wood to facilitate the elderly walking.
In the bedroom design, designer Cheng Senbo believes that the elderly are often poor quality sleep, and some elderly people often get up at night to go to the toilet, in order to avoid affecting his wife's rest, according to need, the bedroom design should consider the old two sub-bed to sleep. It is best not to use a bathtub in the bathroom to avoid the danger of the elderly slipping in the bathtub. Showers and entrance halls should be equipped with rest facilities for the elderly to rest when they suddenly feel dizzy.
If the kitchen uses double-lined cabinets, two rows should ensure the rotation of the wheelchair. Taking into account the characteristics of the height of the elderly, the height of the countertops of the cupboards should be 75-80 cm. If you consider the use of wheelchair users, the table top should not be more than 75 centimeters, and the height of the cabinet to the bottom of the cabinet should be 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters. In order to facilitate elderly people in wheelchairs to operate near countertops, stoves and the lower part of the pool should be left empty. In addition, for the convenience of the elderly, the number of drawers can be appropriately increased, and the use of hydraulic stays and other switches that require greater force should be avoided as much as possible. The handles of the hanging cabinets can be adjusted downwards, and the handles of the cabinets can be appropriately adjusted.
The door is best to use sliding doors. The lower track should be embedded in the ground to avoid height difference; the swing door should pay attention to leave a space of about 50 cm on one side of the handle to allow the elderly person in the wheelchair to open the door sideways. If you need to use a wheelchair indoors, collision prevention should be done for walls and corners within a height of 20-30 cm.
Indoor attention to anti-slip
When selecting materials, be careful to choose materials with special features. “There is no rule to follow. Only the purchase of materials must always consider the safety and convenience of the elderly.†Cheng Senbo said, “For example, when choosing flooring materials, try to choose to have a non-slip function; toilets have to be rinsed with warm water. functional."
Bathrooms are the most prone to accidents. Water vapor causes the floor to be slippery. Therefore, non-slip mats should be placed outside the bathroom door, outside the shower area, and under the wash basin. For floors that have been paved with floor tiles or wooden floors, you can purchase several pieces of decorative carpets. Not only does it prevent the elderly from being slippery, it also decorates the space.
As the age is already high, the elderly are often inconvenient to move, so the elderly room can use more inductive switches, remote control switches or dual control switches. In order to prevent intense light from stimulating the eyesight of the elderly, indoor use of reflective materials should be avoided. Bedside lamps should also be adjustable.
Do not choose too rough or hard materials on the wall. Doors, windows, and furniture switches should be handled by rod-like handles with convenient force. The corners of the corners should be rounded or made of elastic materials to avoid cornering the elderly.
For the elderly, there are no more security facilities. In conditional homes, an alarm switch can be installed on the headboard of the elderly. The alarm is located in the children's room. In the event of an accident, the elderly can notify their children in time to prevent any accidents.

A ballcock (also balltap or float valve) is a mechanism or machine for filling water tanks, such as those found in flush toilets, while avoiding overflow and (in the event of low water pressure) backflow. The modern ballcock was invented by José Antonio de Alzate y RamÃrez, a Mexican priest and scientist, who described the device in 1790 in the Gaceta de Literatura Méxicana.[1] It consists of a valve connected to a hollow sealed float by means of a lever, mounted near the top of the tank. The float is often ball-shaped, hence the name ballcock. The valve is connected to the incoming water supply, and is opened and closed by the lever which has the float mounted on the end. When the water level rises, the float rises with it; once it rises to a pre-set level, the mechanism forces the lever to close the valve and shut off the water flow. This is an example of negative feedback and of proportional control.
