Railing for the front steps.

My mom fell the other day and broke her arm. It didn’t involve the steps but I want to install a railing on our steps for her. Is there any financial help to be had to help with the cost of that? Medicare or something? Many thanks…

I just had something pop up on FB that our local Habitat for humanity did a ramp for a disabled person.

You can search USA.gov's Benefit Finder or the National Council of Aging BenefitsCheckUp to find resources available in your area.

Where I live we have Catholic Charites, InterFaith Community Services and the like to help struggling families to have their needs met, including things like a ramp or railing.

Good luck finding help.

Not really. This would be an out of pocket expense. Call your office of aging to see if there are any programs to help. Maybe Habitat for humanity. It would not take much to do somekind of railing.
