Home Modifications

By making a few modifications around the house, you can better match your abilities to your environment.

The Bathroom

For many survivors, a few bathroom modifications can significantly reduce the difficulty, effort or risk associated with personal care activities. In many cases, these changes require an investment of only a few hundred dollars and the skills of a handyperson. Although there are many modifications possible, at various levels of complexity, it is seldom necessary to do a major remodel.
