Home modifications are changes made to help people move around their homes more safely and easily. These changes can be small, like adding grab bars in the bathroom, or big, like building ramps or installing stair lifts. Some people do the work themselves, while others hire a handyman, a consultant, or a business. In Chicago, some companies even rent ramps and equipment for short-term needs, while others offer full remodeling services.

Planning home changes starts with looking at how someone moves through their home��whether they use a wheelchair, walker, or walk on their own. It��s also important to think about how well they can see and understand their surroundings, like noticing stairs or hot water. A design idea called Universal Design (UD) helps make homes easier for everyone to use. UD also includes ��Visitability,�� which means making homes welcoming for friends and family, with features like no-step entrances and easy-to-use controls.

This listing provides links to Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS). These are trained professionals who know how to remodel homes to make them safer for older adults. You can also find businesses in the Chicago area that rent or install ramps, lifts, and other equipment to help make homes more accessible.
