Improve independence and mobility at home
The Whole Person’s (TWP) home modifications program utilizes skilled, experienced volunteers and local contractors to design and build wheelchair access ramps and other residential modifications such as grab bars, hand rails, door widening, stair lifts and basic bathroom modifications such as zero or low-barrier shower pans in place of existing bath tubs. In some cases, TWP can access funding for eligible recipients, based on location and income, which can make these projects a free or low cost service.
