Home Improvement Program

Often times it becomes increasingly difficult for older adults to maintain their independence at home due to the fact that most homes were not designed with the special needs of aging adults in mind. Additionally, most older adults lack the financial resources to pay for improvements that would make their home safer and more accessible. From installing access ramps to installing exterior/interior handrailing – our Home Improvement Services program is here to help. We believe a home should be a help, not a hindrance, to older adults trying to maintain their independence at home. 

Types of Services Available:

• Installation of access ramps 
• Repair/replacement of exterior steps/handrails 
• Installation of interior handrails and/or grab bars 
• Other mobility and accessibility modifications considered on a case-by-case basis 

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be at least 60 years old  
• Must live in Cumberland County  
• Have repairs and/or improvement needs allowable under the program (see list above)  
• Have repairs and/or improvement needs that can be performed within program funding limits  
• Have no one able and/or willing to perform the work needed
