Home Safety Modifications

IVC’s home safety modification program helps low-income elderly, disabled, and chronically ill citizens by installing wheelchair ramps, handrails & grab bar modifications for seniors. Studies indicate that home modifications help support the participants’ ability to age in place at home while making them more confident to live alone. Home modifications improve participants’ safety, accessibility, privacy, anxiety (knowing you have available transport to needed medical appointments is a game changer for homebound seniors’ mental anxiety) and occupational performance, especially in performing self-care activities.

Wheelchair Ramp

Wheelchair ramps are needed for a variety of reasons; however, all mean the same thing to those who use them: the ability to access their community with ease. Installing a ramp will allow an individual easy access to enter and exit their own home safely. Making sure individuals have room to maneuver around easily and without any problems will help them maintain a higher quality of life without exhausting their energy and stress levels.
