Call our Independent Living Resource Center at 888-UDS-4235 and ask about our design, consultation and installation services for individuals and contractors (available in South Central Pennsylvania). Here is our process:

• Individual needs assessment–
  Working together, we determine which livability needs can be met through home access modifications, assistive technology, and low-cost standardized solutions.
  
• Home evaluation–
  We can help you determine the need for disability home modifications. We inspect the home to identify possible zoning, code, condition and maintenance issues that will affect the design/installation process. We believe there should be no surprises.
  
• Access modification feasibility assessment–
  We assess the appropriateness of specific products and modifications, including cost estimates and the effect on the home's resale value. Our goal is to maximize home accessibility, safety, and independence while staying on budget.
  
• Construction/Installation–
  This is where our experience in accessibility and construction assures the desired results. We supervise the entire construction/installation process, including competitive bidding, contract, insurance, job quality, and even the timeliness and courtesy of the crew.
