Aging-in-Place Safety in Germantown & across MoCo
I put in grab bars, stair handrails and lever handles, and fix trip hazards, so it's safer to get around at home. You can call or text for yourself or for a parent.
What I do
- Install grab bars by the toilet, tub and shower
- Anchor grab bars into studs or solid blocking, on drywall or tile
- Put up stair handrails, on one side or both
- Tighten loose or wobbly handrails
- Swap round doorknobs for lever handles
- Fix trip hazards like loose stair treads and raised thresholds
