As a person living with a disability, creating a safe space at home can mean a lot of extra work and money. The task of outfitting a home for a disability can seem daunting and even impossible for many. Yet, the need for a home that is functional and enjoyable is essential for a higher quality of life.

Even small changes in the home of a disabled or aging person can make a big difference for living well in everyday life. Consider the difference that wider doorways can make for someone in a wheelchair or how much lever door handles can help someone with arthritis.
