In-Home Modification Program

This service is intended to make minor modifications of living space to prevent injury, promote safety and health of older persons, to assist them in remaining independent in their homes. It is available to eligible older household members in the following nine Minnesota counties: Clay, Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens, Traverse, and Wilkin.

Minor home modifications may include, but are not limited to, such items as:

• Repairs/renovations to alleviate medical conditions (i.e., air conditioner installation for asthma patients, etc., with doctor’s prescription)
• Purchase and installation of grab bars, shower chairs, raised toilet seats
• Faucet and door levers
• Smoke detectors
• Installation of medical alert devices
• Water heater repair
• Other – call for more information

This project is made possible, in part, under the Federal Older American’s Act, through a grant with NWRDC under an Area Plan approved by the Minnesota Board on Aging.
