Frequently Asked Questions
Do you coordinate with my doctor, OT, or care team?
Yes. We’re happy to integrate recommendations from your occupational or physical therapist into the design.
Will Medicare/insurance pay for modifications?
Health plans typically don’t cover home renovations, but some Medicare Advantage or long-term care policies may offer limited allowances for safety equipment. We’ll provide detailed estimates you can use when speaking with your provider.
Can you keep part of the house livable during construction?
Whenever possible, yes. We sequence work, set up dust barriers, and maintain safe paths of travel.
How do you ensure grab bars are truly safe?
We open walls as needed and install solid blocking (or use rated anchors when appropriate), then test each bar to confirm a secure mount.
