Toilet Options at the Hardware Store

At McCray and Sons Home Services, we specialize in helping homeowners create safe, functional, and comfortable spaces, especially when facing medical procedures or planning to age in place. One of the most critical and often overlooked upgrades is installing an ADA-compliant toilet.


Whether you're preparing for hip or knee surgery, dealing with limited mobility, or simply future-proofing your home, this simple upgrade can make a world of difference.


What Is an ADA-Compliant Toilet?


ADA-compliant toilets, also called comfort-height toilets, are taller than standard models, measuring between 17" and 19" from floor to seat, compared to 15" on traditional toilets. This design facilitates easy sitting and standing, offering improved ergonomics and accessibility for individuals of all ages and abilities.


Top Benefits of Installing an ADA Toilet


1. Supports Post-Surgery Recovery


After joint surgeries, such as hip or knee replacements, using a standard toilet can be painful and difficult. The added height of an ADA toilet makes daily tasks easier during recovery, reducing strain on your knees, hips, and back.


2. Improved Comfort for Daily Use


The extra height of an ADA toilet creates a more natural sitting position. It’s beneficial for:

  • Older adults

  • People with arthritis or joint pain

  • Pregnant individuals

  • Those with balance or mobility concerns


3. Increased Safety


Paired with grab bars, ADA toilets help reduce the risk of falls in one of the most accident-prone areas of the home—the bathroom. They support independence while also providing peace of mind to caregivers and family members.


4. Essential for Aging in Place


If you're planning to stay in your home long-term, small upgrades like ADA toilets and entry ramps make a big impact. They're cost-effective investments that help you live more safely and independently for years to come.


5. Better Resale and Universal Design


ADA features are increasingly sought after by homebuyers—especially as more people plan to age in place. An accessible bathroom improves your home’s functionality and its value.
