Aging in Place with Confidence
After 3 years of working in maintenance in a high end senior living community, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of staying in the home you love. At Upkeep NW, we believe that "aging in place" isn't just about modifications—it’s about maintaining independence, staying connected to your community, and enjoying the comfort of familiar surroundings.
As Certified Age-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), we provide more than just repairs. We offer peace of mind for seniors and their families by creating safer, more functional environments that support long-term independence.

Our Senior Support Services
1. Senior Home Safety Assessments
We provide comprehensive, room-by-room evaluations designed to identify risks before they become emergencies. Our assessments don’t just look at the floor—we look at the big picture of how you move through your day. We spot hidden hazards like poor lighting in transition zones or difficult-to-reach storage and provide you with a prioritized roadmap of recommendations.
2. Safety Modifications & Improvement
From simple "quick fixes" to more significant accessibility upgrades, we work closely with you and your family to ensure every modification aligns with your specific mobility needs and lifestyle.
-
Bathroom Safety: Installation of grab bars and walk-in shower conversions.
-
Accessibility: Making entrances and pathways easier to navigate and improving flooring transitions to reduce trip hazards.
-
Visibility: Enhancing lighting and installing motion-sensor technology.
