Where Can I Find Help to Install a Wheelchair Ramp in My Home?

Friday March 20, 2009
For seniors and other people with disabilities, wheelchair ramps and other home modifications can help them be more independent and stay in their homes longer. A reader asked if Medicare would cover the cost (unfortunately not) but I found some options that could make installing a wheelchair ramp easier or less expensive. If you need support--either financial or with the construction--here is a list of resources that can help you add a wheelchair ramp to your home.
