Community Living Program
The Community Living Program assists county residents to remain living in their home by providing low-cost, but impactful, home modifications. Modifications are designed to enhance accessibility, promote safe mobility, reduce falls, improve functional compacity for activities of daily living, lower hospital readmission rates and minimize the need for more intensive care in nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
Home Modification examples include:
- Grab bars/railings, tub/shower transfer bench
- Accessible kitchen/bathroom features
- Access ramps
- Raised toilet seat/supports
- Fall prevention/safety features

The Community Living Program In Action
“I am thankful for all of the help and guidance from the Community Living Program. I have showered almost every day now that I have a swivel shower seat. Previously, I showered once a week and could not do it by myself. Now I can do it independently and every day! Thank you!”
