Why is it important to consider home modifications now?

Every day over 10,000 Americans turn 65 and by 2030 1/5 of Americans will be over 65.

By 2035, millions of older households will include someone with a mobility or cognitive disability requiring assistance to complete daily activities.

Less than 4% of current single family homes have 3 critical accessibility features – zero step entry, single floor living and hallways and doorways wide enough for mobility devices.

Many homes can be modified to allow the residents to “Age in Place” and to provide access to other family members with disabilities. Home modifications are changes to adapt living areas to increase usage, safety, security AND independence allowing people to remain in their homes longer.

Occupational Therapists are specially trained to provide assessments of your abilities and home features with recommendations to enable you to remain in the home you love.
