FAQ
At AGEINPLACE ALLIES, we know that navigating home modifications for aging in place can bring up many questions. We’ve gathered some of the most common questions we hear from clients to help guide you through the process.
How long does a home modification take?
The timeline for a home modification depends on the complexity of the project. Small adjustments, such as installing grab bars or non-slip flooring, can be completed in just a few hours. Larger projects, like adding a stairlift or converting a bathtub into a walk-in shower, may take a few days. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a detailed timeline tailored to your specific needs.
Will the modifications damage the structure of my home?
No, the modifications we perform are designed to enhance your home’s functionality without causing damage. Our team of professionals ensures that any installation is done with care, preserving the integrity of your home. In fact, many of the modifications, like grab bars and ramps, can be removed or adjusted later without leaving lasting damage.
Can modifications be done in an older or multi-story home?
Yes, we specialize in making homes of all types safer for aging in place, whether they are older homes, multi-story buildings, or compact spaces. We assess your home’s unique layout and recommend modifications that work within the existing structure. For multi-story homes, solutions like stairlifts or converting a downstairs room into a bedroom can be highly effective.
How much will it cost to make my home safer for aging in place?
The cost of home modifications varies based on the specific changes needed. Simple updates like grab bars or non-slip flooring can range from $100 to $500, while more significant changes, such as adding a stairlift or a walk-in shower, may cost several thousand dollars. During your free assessment, we’ll provide a customized estimate based on your home and budget.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we understand that home modifications can be a significant investment. At AGEINPLACE ALLIES, we offer flexible financing options to help make these important safety improvements affordable. We also work with families to explore any available insurance or government assistance programs that may help cover the cost of modifications.
