One Bathroom Upgrade Removes Two of the Biggest Fall Risks for Aging Homeowners, Says Phoenix Home Remodeling Co-Founder

Jeremy Maher, featured in a new Redfin guide on aging in place, points Arizona homeowners to a single bathroom change that improves safety and daily use at the same time.
Chandler, Arizona - August 25, 2026 - Phoenix Home Remodeling, a design-build kitchen and bathroom remodeler operating as CMC Group Ventures, Inc. (Arizona ROC #313636), was featured in a new Redfin article on smart upgrades for aging in place [https://www.redfin.com/blog/smart-tech-upgrades/]. Co-founder and COO Jeremy Maher was quoted on the bathroom change that delivers the most safety for the effort.

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death for adults 65 and older in the United States. According to the National Safety Council, 43,020 people in that age group died from preventable falls in 2024, and more than 3.85 million were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries in 2023. The bathroom is where many of those falls happen, which is why Maher tells homeowners to start there.

"The smartest upgrade is a thermostatic digital shower valve paired with a curbless, zero-threshold entry. You take away the step people trip over and the scalding-water risk in one move. Safer and easier to use every day," said Maher in the Redfin feature.

A thermostatic valve holds water at a preset temperature, so a sudden pressure change somewhere else in the house does not turn a shower scalding. A curbless, zero-threshold entry removes the raised lip at the shower that people trip over and makes the space usable for anyone with a walker or wheelchair. Maher's point is that the two work better together than either does alone, and both are best planned with a licensed contractor rather than added piecemeal.

The timing matters locally. Arizona has a large and growing population of homeowners who want to stay in single-story ranch and retrofit-friendly homes as they age, and accessible bathroom projects are among the most requested upgrades in that group.

Phoenix Home Remodeling designs these projects with a planning-first process that defines scope and pricing before construction starts. That approach helps the company hold change orders to about 2.1%, against an industry range of 20 to 32%, so homeowners planning an accessible bathroom know the full scope and price up front.

Phoenix Home Remodeling shared the full recommendation, including how it designs curbless, zero-threshold showers, on its blog: Redfin Names Our Bathroom Upgrade for Aging in Place [https://phxhomeremodeling.com/redfin-aging-in-place-bathroom-upgrades/].
