Support Seniors with Minor In-Home Repairs

Save to Favorites

Not all seniors in our community have the resources to make important safety updates to their homes, such as a grab bar in the shower, or grip strips on the stairs. These simple improvements can make a huge difference to their quality of life! But it can be hard to find a repair company that will install these things at an affordable price. We are specifically looking for help with installing grab bars.

That's where you come in.
