This project focused on transforming a well maintained home into a fully accessible living environment for a wheelchair user veteran. Through the SAH program, structural and functional modifications were implemented across both interior and exterior areas, ensuring safe mobility, independence, and daily comfort throughout the entire property.

Key Improvements

Installation of metal ramps at front and rear entries with handrails
Reconstruction and modification of walkways for safe and smooth access
Conversion of master bathroom into a roll in shower with foldable bench and grab bars
Expansion of bathroom layout to improve maneuverability
Modification of doors to 36 inch openings for full wheelchair access
Installation of continuous wood look tile flooring on the first level
Kitchen adaptations including pull out tray and accessible workspace options
Closet reconfiguration with lowered shelving for easy reach
Installation of ADA compliant thresholds at main entry points
Electrical, lighting, and ventilation upgrades throughout the home
Replacement of gates, locks, and security enhancements

Impact on Daily Living
These modifications allow the veteran to move freely and safely throughout the home, eliminating physical barriers and reducing everyday risks. Each upgrade was carefully designed to support independence, improve functionality, and create a living space that adapts to both current and future needs.
