Before and After
Lynn, a member of Lifelong Laguna, invited us out last year for a free Home Modification Assessment. We did a thorough evaluation of both the interior and exterior spaces of the home, and then prepared a detailed report of our recommendations for improved accessibility and safety that would support her “aging in place” goal.
Through Lifelong Laguna, Lynn felt empowered to make her home safer. As she put it, “There’s hesitancy to make changes, but you need to overcome it…it may really help and it doesn’t cost as much as someone might think…it’s well worth it!”
