Getting Old Sucks | DIY Garage Hand Rail for Elderly Relative

An elderly relative has been having problems getting in and out of the garage due to the steps, so I was asked to install a hand rail. I looked at a couple hand rail systems, ranging from relatively expensive stainless steel rails, to more commonplace wooden ones. I opted for a DIY hand rail, using commonly available lumber and products from the home center, and the result is an incredibly sturdy railing.
This project took about six hours to complete, with a little less than half that time being installation. The end result was worth it, being able to see my relative navigate these steps with a lot more ease (and safety).

I have a similar situation but have two concrete steps and adding the post on the step is probably not an option, could break the concrete drilling close to the edge, But the tip using the post mount on the flat is a good tip, I can then add a 2X6 on the rake and mount my handrail to that like you did.
I had it in my head that I needed to mount a post to the steps but seeing your idea will make for a better outcome, thanks
