Home Modification

Changes to the physical structure of a house made to make it more easily livable for a senior citizen or a physically disabled person. For example, one may add lower cabinets so a person in a wheelchair can reach them. Likewise, one may add handlebars to a shower to reduce the risk of slipping. While many home modifications are inexpensive, one can usually find reduced rates or financing options for more expensive modifications. See also: Activities of Daily Living.
