These are the public and nonprofit directories we point families to first. KindredAge does not take payment for any listing on this page, and none of these links are affiliate links.
Not sure where to start
Free public service that connects you to your local Area Agency on Aging: home-modification grants, meals, transport, respite and caregiver support. Phone: 1-800-677-1116.
Home safety assessment
An occupational therapist can assess how someone moves through the home and recommend changes before you buy equipment. Ask your doctor for a referral; Medicare Part B may cover OT when it is medically necessary.
Bathroom, ramp or entry remodel
CAPS-trained remodelers and designers who work on zero-step entries, curbless showers and grab-bar blocking. Always check the contractor’s state license and insurance yourself.
Downsizing or moving
Member directory of move managers who help sort belongings, plan a new floor layout and coordinate the move.
A break for the family caregiver
Search for respite care programs by state, including in-home and adult day options.
Help paying for changes
Nonprofit affiliates that repair and modify homes for older adults with limited income, at no cost to the homeowner.
