Senior Home Safety for homes and businesses
Bathrooms, stairs and dim hallways are where many falls at home happen, and a few small changes can make a big difference. We help older adults stay safe and comfortable in the home they know, and we help their families take care of the list. The work is explained in plain terms, the price is agreed before we start, and everything is cleaned up when we leave.

Questions about senior home safety
Can you install grab bars on tile?
Yes. Grab bars are anchored into wall studs, or into anchors rated for grab bars, drilled through the tile with the right bit so they hold body weight. Towel bars and suction-cup bars are not safe substitutes.
Can I book this for my mom or dad?
Yes. Many requests come from adult children. Send the list and the address, and we'll coordinate the visit with you and your parent and keep you updated.
Do you build wheelchair ramps?
We install small threshold ramps at doorways. Full-size ramps up to an entry may need a permit and are referred to a contractor who builds them.
