Home Adaptations for Seniors Independence... what does it mean? Well, here is the short of it. HASI is a government program that offers low-income seniors, who are having difficulties performing daily activities, an opportunity to remain safe and independent in their home.
The program offers financial assistance up to $3,500.00 for minor home adaptations.
For example;
1. installation of railings, lighting and non-slip floors for safety,
2. modifications in the kitchen and bathroom to improve physical activities, and
3. outfit organizers in closets and drawers for improved accessability.
There are qualifications for the HASI program that include the following:
1. must be over 65 years of age
2. own/rent and reside in the home
3. difficulty with daily living activities
4. income less than $37,500 / year
The application process is time-consuming and difficult for many seniors, but well worth the time and energy it takes to move forward. There are many benefits to being proactive and creating safety in your home, but preventing the first accident is most important.
Silver Lining Transitions will assist with the process to ensure peace of mind and recommend complete solutions to remain safe and independent at home.
