Tailoring your home environment to meet your needs as you age is an integral part of the aging in place process. Removing rugs, improving lighting, and installing grab bars in your bathroom are good first steps. If you find yourself in need of slightly heftier improvements, such as a walk-in shower, ramp to your front door, or chair-lift for the stairs, feel free to contact the below providers and/or home renovators.
