HERE IS A PLACE TO START:

What is it that you need to keep your loved one home a little longer?  Maybe it’s different walker or a giant type crossword puzzle.  Within the last few years, there have been many advances in technology that permit knows when someone is falling or when they get out of bed, the bathroom light goes on.

Able Data is not the “end-all” list of what is available, it’s a starting point to get your “juices” flowing on what is available and what is possible.

Simple math:  A removable wheelchair ramp may be up to several thousand dollars, a permanent wood ramp, maybe $5,000.   Hold this one time investment up against the on-going cost of an Assisted Living community at $5,000 every month.
