Walk-in and Barrier-Free
("Zero Clearance)" Showers
A walk-in or a "barrier-free" shower in your home offers a safer showering alternative. It allows for unobstructed access and reduces fall risk. A barrier-free shower enables those who use wheelchairs or walkers to roll or walk into the shower without obstacles.
Kitchen Modifications
Countertops and cabinetry can often be too high. Appliances in hard-to-reach areas are also common problems in the kitchen for wheelchair-reliant people. We can adjust a counter's height and the position of sinks for your needs.
Vertical Platform and Ceiling Lifts
When a person has a mobility impairment and is unable to walk on their own, they cannot safely enjoy all of their home. We install elevators and vertical platform lifts,(a type of elevator), allowing a physically challenged person safe access to the second floor or basement of the home. A ceiling lift can assist a bedbound person, as well as the caregiver, to get them safely from the bedroom to the bathroom, or any other room in the home, as well as into a wheelchair.
Widening of Doors
Wider doors make navigating the home easier for someone who relies on mobility aids, like walkers and wheelchairs.
Ramps
Ramps that are ADA (American Disability Association) compliant may be necessary to give you a safer option to enter and exit your home. Ramps are available in many styles and functions, including:
- Aluminum
- Wood
- Steel
- Modular Wheelchair
- Portable
- And Much More
Accessible Living Atlanta technicians will help you determine what is the best ramp design to suit your personal needs!

It is common for an injury to happen on the job. Depending on the injury type, your home may need to be modified to suit your needs. Our trained team can determine what accessibility/modifications are required to make your home more user-friendly.
Special Needs Trust
A Special Needs Trust – also referred to as a Supplemental Needs Trust is a type of trust that’s set up for people with disabilities or access and functional needs.
