We want to stay in our home, but need to make changes. Each year, more people face difficulty with stairs whether from the natural struggles of aging or because of an injury. Whether temporary or permanent, Jon Tevz, of Homestead Independence Inc. in Milwaukee, said there are several available solutions. A professional ADA contractor, Homestead Independence's primary focus is to make homes, businesses and automobiles more accessible for the elderly and physically challenged by constructing and installing various products. This allows a person to glide safely up or down the stairway while stationed in a wheelchair or scooter.
Elevators are also a solution when space is limited.
Remodeling to accommodate those who have trouble moving around a home does not need to be limited to giving access to another level. Appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Jan. 28, 2001. All rights reserved. Produced by Journal Interactive .
