Not being able to reach certain parts of your house because of your age or a medical condition can be a grim reality to face. You’ve lived in your home for so long, and you love it, but you can no longer make it to all parts of your home without assistance. You don’t want to move because your home is as much a part of you as you are of it, but finding a more accessible home or moving into an assisted living center seem like the only real options. Before you begin looking for somewhere else to live or put your house on the market, consider a home modification from Hammer Medical.
A home modification is a solution that lets you stay in your existing home while making it more accessible to you and your loved ones. Widening doorways to allow a power chair to pass through, building a wheelchair ramp for easier access to your home or installing an elevator in your home are just a few of the home modifications our certified and licensed contractor can do. They can also install stair lifts or wheelchair lifts to get you up and down the stairs in your home and provide you with complete accessibility to your home from top to bottom. We will assess your home and create an accessibility plan that fits your home, needs and budget.
Not only can we evaluate and assist you with the accessibility of your home, but we can also help make it a safer environment for you. A study done by the Center for Disease Control last year showed that bathrooms are one of the most dangerous places for those over age 65. Our contractors can help you decide if a walk-in tub or shower is appropriate for your level of mobility. They can also install grab bars to help you move around your bathroom safely and securely.
When it comes to your accessibility and safety in your home, Hammer Medical has the resources to help increase both. Contact us today to find out how we can help you be more mobile and safer in your home while staying within your budget.
