Home Modification Evaluations

Safety. Accessibility. Independence.

After a serious injury, even the most familiar spaces can become full of barriers. At M & M Home Care, we specialize in Home Modification Evaluations designed to make your living environment safe, accessible, and aligned with your current physical needs. These evaluations are a vital part of the recovery process—helping clients regain independence, reduce the risk of injury, and live with dignity in their own homes.

Our evaluations are tailored specifically for individuals covered under Michigan Auto No-Fault insurance, including those who have experienced catastrophic injuries.

What Is a Home Modification Evaluation?

A home modification evaluation is a thorough, on-site assessment performed by a licensed clinician. We examine how well your current home setup supports your mobility, safety, and daily functional needs—then recommend modifications that improve accessibility without sacrificing comfort or style.

Our goal is to create a living space that enhances your ability to move freely, live safely, and participate in daily life without unnecessary obstacles.

What We Evaluate

During the evaluation, we look at every major area of your home to identify risks and opportunities for improvement:

• Entrances and Exits – Are ramps needed? Is threshold height creating tripping hazards?

• Bathrooms – Are there grab bars, roll-in showers, or space to maneuver safely with a wheelchair or walker?

• Doorways and Hallways – Are they wide enough for your mobility device?

• Kitchens and Bedrooms – Can you reach what you need without strain?

• Flooring and Transitions – Are surfaces safe, smooth, and non-slip?

• Overall Layout – Is your home easy to navigate, or do you face barriers with transfers and movement?

Who Can Benefit?

Our evaluations are ideal for individuals who:

• Have sustained spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or complex orthopedic injuries

• Use wheelchairs, walkers, or require assistive devices

• Experience balance issues, limited reach, or fatigue

• Are discharging home from inpatient rehab or transitioning into long-term recovery

Our Process

1. Initial Consultation
   We start by learning about your current challenges, rehab goals, and support needs.

2. On-Site Evaluation
   Our clinicians assess every area of your home, documenting current limitations and proposing tailored solutions.

3. Collaboration
   We work hand-in-hand with case managers, family members, and therapy providers to ensure modifications align with your care plan.

4. Detailed Report
   A comprehensive report is created that includes:

   • Specific recommendations (e.g., grab bars, ramps, stair lifts)

   • Estimated costs

   • Photographs and measurements

   • Justification language to support insurance authorization and funding

Why It Matters

A poorly designed home can increase fall risk, lead to hospital readmissions, and create daily frustration. But the right modifications—planned by experts who understand both healthcare and home safety—can dramatically improve your quality of life and reduce caregiver burden.

Whether you’re newly injured or adapting to long-term disability, our team is committed to helping you live with as much independence as possible.

Moving Forward, Safely

At M & M Home Care, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every home—and every client—is different. That’s why our Home Modification Evaluations are rooted in detailed, real-world assessments and collaborative care planning.

Let us help you create a space that supports your health, independence, and peace of mind.
