With more than 10 years of experience in assisting home owners throughout Connecticut to live safely and comfortably at home, Connecticut Home Modification specializes in designing and installing efficient home modifications conducive to independent living, like walk-in baths, wheelchair ramps, grab bars, and smart home technology. We are licensed, ADA-compliant, and provide free in-home consultations, so you can plan with confidence.
Why Connecticut Needs Aging-in-Place Modification
Most homeowners older than 50 want to age in place, to remain in their homes and communities safely and independently.
However, most American homes are not designed with features such as zero-threshold showers, first-floor bedrooms, or ramp access. Without retrofitting, stairs, narrow doorways, slippery floors, and inadequate lighting become fall hazards.
In Connecticut, in 2024 there was enacted a stronger state support for aging-in-place, including home modification programs and accessible services. Which means today is the perfect moment to make investments in accessible house improvements, such as smart devices, grab bars, and non-slip floors.

These modifications lower risk of falls and contribute to daily independence.

In the bathroom to the hallways and stairs, we install discreet yet secure grab bars. They assist balance and mobility without compromising home design.
