I operate in the Central and Southwestern Ohio area. I can offer clients a free home assessment that goes through room by room and identifies obstacles, hazards, and then make recommendations of products that make the home more accessible and safe. Some solutions are free and easy for the home owner to complete, others my company can offer. In the Bathroom I install tub conversions that turns your current bath tub into a low step shower. While not a "roll in" shower, with the low step shower and the transfer seat it makes the transfer much easier due to not having to lift the legs as high. In the kitchen I provide the pull out shelving. I also provide the closet accessories, door widening.. mention above. I would enjoy if other people could tell me of other products that might be of use and need that I should consider in offering. If someone has a particular need and am in search of a solution please let me know. I will work to find the answer. Thank you again for the blog. My company is called Daily Living Solutions.

The ideas that are posted in these blogs are simple yet I can see how they would make a world of differences to people who are in wheelchairs or have people who have physical disabilties and require the use of wheelchairs and other equipment to me mobile. I look foward to the next blog posting and getting more ideas that I maybe able to pass on to the people I work with as well as their families.
