I am hoping that this will pass through the ways and means committee and get enacted soon as possible. This bill would help Seniors and the Disabled to make home improvements for aging in place and to be able to use their retirement savings tax free

Some good questions to ask before you hire a contractor to work in your home - how do you handle dust and property protection?
At Home Sweet Accessible Home we are always asking that question to ourselves and putting everything in writing to our customers up front to give them peace of mind
Here we are opening up the back side of a home putting in a new header and a large recessed track Anderson sliding door
To protect the home we installed a dust barrier wall and a large fan outside to create negative pressure

This was a recent Clean-Cut tub cut with door project for a client. They were looking for a less expensive way to lower the step-over height into the shower for their Mother without spending a lot of money on a tub to shower conversion. They selected the tub cut with door model so the tub can still be used as a tub if needed.

Big transformation from a cramped toilet/shower area into a spacious accessible showering retreat. Something had to give and luckily we had the adjacent Office to reconfigure - they now have room with a wheelchair accessible shower and vanity areas! Check out the single slope curb-less shower with a rear linear drain.

I felt compelled to share this article about a relatively new foundation called 'Answer ALS'. Essentially they are collecting big data (approx 6 billion data points per patient) from 1000 ALS patients and using Artificial intelligence and with the help of Microsoft their hope is to figure out some commonalities from these patients to lead towards a cause for the disease that right now no one knows what causes it.

Maybe, Joel Shamaskin thought, he was working too many hours, not getting enough sleep. That wouldn’t have been unusual for the longtime primary care doctor at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

We had a great time helping out a retired Navy Master Chief who was in dire need of a safe shower for bathing. He received a VA HISA (Home Improvement and Structural Alterations) grant which really helped to defer some of the cost.
We got the call from his wife who was concerned about him falling again in the old small cramped curbed shower. We went to the computer and designed a new bath that incorporated a walk-in curb-less shower (in place of the old Garden tub), widening of the toilet room door and repurposing the old shower into a linen storage closet. As a Veteran, Scott has a deep connection to those who have served their country. It was an honor and privilege to help this Veteran to be safe and comfortable in his home.

We had a great time with a fantastic couple who were looking for a walk-in tub
This project included removing the old cast-iron tub and keeping the original tile work. This beautiful home is located in Avondale so they wanted to keep the original charm of the tile without it looking brand spanking new - which was a bit of a challenge but we were able to remove and salvage the old tile to reuse around the new walk-in tub. In the end they have a beautiful new water and air jet walk in tub that will give them the medical hydrotherapy that the doctor ordered
Thanks goes out to Admiral Morall and his lovely wife for the trust and allowing us to make their home more accessible

We just finished an Accessible bath remodel for a wonderful couple who just moved from up North. We made major improvements to the bathrooms and bedrooms for the wife who is mobility impaired.
We finished right on time for their move in!
