My mom had a very bad stroke; left side immobile. We would like to have a ramp added to her house for wheelchair access. In addition, rails in the hallway and along frequently used walls would help a lot. Another consideration is reconfiguration of the bathroom or perhaps the installation of a bath tub she can sit in with minimal stepping requirements. Finally, the wiring in her home may need to be upgraded to accommodate the medical equipment she is bringing home from rehab. The extra voltage may drain existing power sources. This would be a basic remodel to accommodate her disability resulting from the stroke; stroke took happened 2 weeks ago, so trying to get things in order. With low income - limited finances.

My 95 yo mother had a stroke last Monday. She is still in the hospital. her speech, swallowing and left side were effected. She will be going to PT upon discharge and then the nursing home.
Good luck to you. If you are new to elder care, it takes awhile to figure out what to do.
