Older Adults Home Modification Program

As people age, their needs change, making home modifications essential to safety and well-being. Recognizing older adults need to age in place in a safe and functional home environment, SBP offers an Older Adults Home Modification Program, which provides low-income adults, 62 years and older, with accessibility home modifications and adaptive equipment. Working in partnership with Occupational Therapists, SBP implements these modifications to help improve mobility, reduce the risk of falling, and optimize independence.
