How to Find a Contractor for Aging-in-Place Modifications

These days, more and more people are opting to age in place rather than move to a retirement community. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons, almost 90% of people over 65 want to stay in their residences for as long as possible. If this is you, it is important that you make a few adjustments in your home to make it safer and more accessible as you age. With this goal in mind, here are a few tips on how to find a reputable contractor with mobility remodeling experience.

Start Your Search in Your Own Community

Of course, the best option is to find a contractor that is well-known for quality work within your own community. Many contractors have skills and experience in making homes more accessible for people with chronic disabilities such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. These contractors are usually well-known to organizations that cater to people with these disabilities so get in touch with your local advocacy organizations.

Another great way to find mobility remodeling contractors is to visit local home improvement and hardware stores and ask if they can refer local contractors who have experience with aging-in-place remodeling.

Expand Your Search Online

If you live in a small town or remote area, the above-mentioned tips may not be of much help. This is where the internet comes in. You can check the National Directory of Home Modification and Repair Resources for a list of individuals and companies that provide equipment and services that cater to independent living. These organizations or individuals are listed by city and state.
