Whether you are looking for simple solutions or adjustments in your home to make life easier, or have an extensive bathroom remodel in mind, we can provide it. Our philosophy begins with an understanding that one of the biggest threats to our health and way of life as we age is a fall. It only makes sense to look for simple solutions shown to reduce the frequency and/or the severity of falls before they happen. Our recommended solutions always start by focusing on simple ways to make everyday tasks and activities more convenient. More often than not, these convenience solutions are also key in preventing falls and injury. We call this concept "preventive convenience", and it can be incorporated into all areas of your home - often inexpensively. During our free initial consultation with you, we'll learn about you, your home, and your unique situation, to put together a comprehensive proposal including a short and long term plans based on your wants and needs.

Bob was great and the quality of work was great. We are thankful every day for gate.
Everybody thinks the gate was original to the home.
One concern we had was how noisy the work might be. Mike said that the first day (when the old tub is removed) would be the noisiest, but it really wasn't that bad. Several ladies played bridge in an adjoining room (with the door closed) and they hardly heard a thing! The most noise occurred when the grab bars were installed (drilling in to the tile wall and floor) at the end of the week.
Mike gave us a clear picture of what would happen when, and how long the job would take (1 week). He told us what we needed to move out of a bathroom closet, so we could get that done in advance. After all our questions were answered, Mike said he would send his "worst case estimate", factoring in things like the possible need to replace flooring under the old bath if there was old water damage, etc. The estimate arrived within a week, and the seniors decided to do the job.
Mike came back to do final measurements, and to collect the 1/2 deposit. The crew arrived promptly on the appointed start-date, and the work was completed within the agreed week. They cleaned up beautifully each night, so that the toilet and sink could be used each night. We had not expected that!
All of us in the family definitely recommend AgeRight Retrofit! Not cheap, but worth every penny!
The ramp they recommended lived up to expectations, exceeded them really, reasonably attractive, reasonable to take down (I haven't put it back up yet, but I don't think that is going to be a problem), and reasonably priced -- just a few rentals of a temporary ramp would exceed this purchase cost.
I dealt mostly with Bob Kasbohm, who was very, very responsive. The time from measurement to order to shipment and installation was less than two weeks, they made a great effort to get it in in time for our visitors, and I generally found them easy to work with.
My one piece of advice would be to ask lots of questions, especially about what things are going to look like, how they will work. I'm happy with the installation, but I was a little surprised by parts of it, and I realized as we went along that I was making guesses or assumptions about some of the options they sketched out (physically, in a kind of blueprint) for me. I think they have a clear idea where they're going and what things will look like, and they may not always realize that the customer has missed something, so ask questions, even the dumb ones.
But we were happy with the results and the relationship, and we would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
