Entrance Modifications

Wheelchair Accessible Entrance Modifications in Northern Virginia / D.C. / Maryland metro area

Before modifying your home, there are critical considerations – not widely understood – prior to any purchase of equipment.

The trained professionals at Live In Place are the proven entrance modification experts in the Northern Virginia / D.C. / Maryland metro area. We make changes that will enable your loved one to enter and exit the family home – retaining a real degree of independence and security. There’s a lot more that goes into the proper choice, installation, and successful use of an entrance enhancement than what you see at first glance!

What design meets the specific abilities and body mechanics of your loved one? How do these factors vary according to their own unique medical condition, disease progression, and even the caregiver’s own abilities? Live In Place has professional answers to serve you better.

Prior to purchase and installation, “Best in Class” evaluations are conducted by certified occupational and physical therapists who are trained in aging-in-place mobility options, including expertise in entrance and exit modifications. This ensures your peace of mind that the improvements are right for your loved one – increasing safety while retaining their independence.

When walking is an option, step height may be challenging, and safety is a concern.

Options may include:

• Ramps
• Railings
• Modifying step heights
• Grips to allow safe passage across thresholds
• Enhancements that consider progressive changes
• A combination of these to meet the specific abilities and body mechanics of your loved one

Again, these changes can dramatically improve safety while allowing continued walking or mobile independence.

Therapeutic analysis of which modifications are necessary and practical is key to making good decisions. Our recommendations are individualized and medically sound, with a full discussion of the rationale behind them.

In a typical consultation, we work with you and conduct an accessibility and safety assessment. Our recommendations are based on the client’s abilities, mobility level, medical and therapeutic diagnosis, and the layout of your home. Our purpose is to help your loved one continue to thrive at home.

We have served thousands of families since 2007, improving their safety and comfort.

With the modifications we provide, our clients are able to go beyond their physical limitations and lead quality lives in safe and energy-efficient ways.
