Doorways, grab bars and home safety

Small changes that make a big difference: wider doors, sturdy rails, level floors and a kitchen that works from a wheelchair.

What we do

Environmental modifications (EMOD)

Programs often call this work environmental modifications, or EMOD. We are an approved Acumen vendor for NJ DDD and work with support coordinators, care managers and evaluators to follow each person's evaluation and approval.

Questions people ask

How wide should a doorway be for a wheelchair?

Many standards call for a clear opening of at least 32 inches, and wider is easier. We measure the chair and the person's needs at the home visit.

Do you do small jobs like grab bars?

Yes. Grab bars and railings are some of the most important safety changes, and we're happy to do them on their own or as part of a bigger job.

Free home visit, no obligation

We measure, listen and explain your options in plain language. Deaf or hard of hearing? Text us, or call through 711 or video relay.
