Your home is your safe haven, so make it one. Increase your independence by making it accessible, comfortable and most of all safe.
Our house was like living in a land of giants, "everything" was raised up so I could get up and down on my own using my very weak legs.My home was a one story rambler, a major fixer-upper, so we were fortunate enough to be able to remodel so I had a walk-in shower, a ramp to the front door, handicap toilets and level decks off both the entrances. Now I am in a wheelchair and I no longer live in my first home. Adaptation and creative "thinking outside the box" is the name of the game. Much can be done wherever you live, whether you rent or own and without going to the extreme of finding a new place. Simple, inexpensive, non-structural changes can be made to any home and some can be put back to their original state if you need to leave. There are many adaptive devises you can purchase. Some service organizations such as the Eagles, Rotary Clubs, Churches, Scouts, TMA or the MDA may be able to help with costs and labor to get your home ready.
Here are some ideas and things I have done in the past that may be helpful.
