Environmental Modification

This service allows physical changes to be made to the private residence of the individual or to the individual’s family. Modifications are usually made to ensure the health, welfare and safety of the individual or to enable them to function with greater independence in the home. Such adaptations include the installation of ramps and grab-bars, widening of doorways, modification of bathroom facilities, or the installation of specialized electric and plumbing systems that are necessary to accommodate the medical equipment and supplies that are necessary for the welfare of the individual.
