Is there financial assistance for home repair?

Our local Office of the Aging has a program where you have repairs such as this done to your house by volunteers...all you have to do is provide the materials. Check into that in your local area.

Contact your church, city, or some homebuilders here in AZ have a program to install fences around pools. Maybe you could ask if Home Depot will do it inexpensively. I know they have employees that donate their own time to go help veterans spruce up their homes (for free). Good luck!

We live in Alaska and went through a state program that helped with installing a wheelchair accessable bathroom. It was through the Alaska Community Development Program. We were on the waiting list for about 4 years, but it may be different in your area. Check with the local brain injury foundation, disability center, Alzheimers association, and State websites, Hospice, maybe even a social worker at your local hospital. We were also able to get a chair lift installed so checking any resource is worth the time. Good luck in your search.
