HOW
How could we modify our homes to accommodate our disabled and senior loved ones comfortably and safely?
Seniors and those with special physical needs can keep their independence and avoid accidents by making upgrades, alterations, and repairs to their homes.
Simple adjustments like changing doorknobs to pull handles to significant structural tasks like putting in a wheelchair ramp are examples of work that can be done for convenient domestic adaptability and accessibility.
For instance, for a person who uses a wheelchair, accessibility improvements include things like widened entrances and lowered light switches, and countertop heights.
Adaptability elements include modifications that do not necessitate home renovation, such as adding grab bars to bathrooms!
Home Modification program has components that are strong and dependable, simple for everyone to operate, and adaptable enough for particular situations.
