Repairs include the installation of grab bars or railings, fixing broken steps, and making modifications to accommodate a wheel chair or walker, etc. Something as simple as a grab bar can make it possible for a senior to stay in their own home, rather than having to go to assisted living or a convalescent home. * Volunteer Transportation... * File of Life * Retired Senior Volunteer Program...
