Home Modifications (<< back to Our Services)

A home modification is an adaptation to a residence, whether large or small, designed to increase the ease-of-use, safety, comfort, security and personal independence of the occupant(s).  No two homes need the same modifications because each person’s requirements are as unique as their limitations.  The staff at Safe Living Solutions-Transitions is well versed in all the available technologies, products and techniques that can enable a comfortable, safe and independent lifestyle for people with special needs and those who want to age in place.

Safe Living, with its affiliate company Osprey Bay Building and Development, provides home modification services ranging from simple to complex.  We will work with you to develop and implement a plan that meets your budget and needs.  Our recommendations may range from fairly simple adaptations such as securing area rugs, installing higher wattage light bulbs, or converting door knobs to door levers to more complex modifications such as building a ramp into your home, installing a walk-in shower, or lowering sinks and cabinets.

 

Once a problem area has been identified within the home, Safe Living has an assortment of products and services to address these issues.  We work with our clients to seamlessly implement our products and services within their homes without creating an “institutional” feel.

 

You may want to make modifications to just part of your home, particularly if you have visitors who have special needs or limitations.  For friends or loved ones who come to visit, you may want to consider ramps, widened doorways, or other modifications to the main level of your home to make their visits safer and easier.  And, if you have infants or toddlers who frequently visit, our affiliate company Safe Living Solutions-First Steps can provide home evaluations and modifications aimed at child safety, including poison control/containment, fire escape plans, and safety gates.

 

Finally, if you are considering adding onto your home, or building a new one, Safe Living can work with you and your architect to ensure your plans meet your needs today and tomorrow.
