What are some common modifications?

Sara is a licensed Physical Therapist and a CAPS (Certified Aging in Place) specialist who collaborates with contractors and uses her expertise to make appropriate modifications in the home based on the patient's level of function.

Modifications can include:

Bathroom Grab Bars: Installing grab bars in the bathroom near the toilet, bathtub, and shower can provide support and stability.
