Local Kensington crew.
We're based in Kensington — Berlin, New Britain, and central CT are our neighbors, not a service radius on a map.

Senior home safety modifications, with care.
One in four adults over 65 falls each year, and most falls happen at home — in bathrooms, on stairs, and on the way to the bathroom at night. We help older adults keep living safely and independently in the homes they love, and we give family caregivers one reliable local crew to call. We work alongside homecare agencies, occupational therapists, and hospital discharge planners across central Connecticut: send us the recommendation list, and we’ll quote it line by line.
Projects to discuss
- Stud-mounted grab bars (never adhesive)
- Stair handrails on both sides
- Bathroom safety packages — seats, raised toilets, handheld showerheads
- Motion-sensor lighting & night lights
- Threshold ramps & entry safety
- Whole-home fall-prevention walkthrough
Installed the way OTs and discharge planners expect
Every bar goes into studs or solid blocking — never drywall alone, never suction cups. Placement follows standard reach guidance (about 33–36 inches beside the toilet and in the shower), hardware is weight-rated, and we confirm clearances for walkers and wheelchairs before we drill. Bring us the OT’s home-safety checklist and we’ll work straight down it.
Built for real homecare situations
Hospital-to-home in 48 hours. A parent newly using a walker. A spouse with Parkinson’s, arthritis, or early memory changes. We schedule around aide visits, keep walkways clear while we work, and bundle the whole safety list into one tidy visit — so your loved one’s routine barely notices we were there.
How much do senior home safety modifications cost?+
Most single visits land between $200 and $600 — for example, professionally installed grab bars typically run $100–$200 each, and a bathroom safety package (bars, shower seat, raised toilet seat, handheld showerhead) usually falls between $500 and $3,000 depending on the room. Every quote is flat and itemized before we start, so families and care managers know exactly what’s included.
How fast can you come out?+
Most safety visits are scheduled within a few days, and hospital-discharge situations get priority — tell us the discharge date and we’ll work backward from it. A typical grab-bar and handrail visit takes two to four hours.
Do you coordinate with my parent’s homecare agency or therapist?+
Yes — it’s a regular part of the job. We take recommendation lists from homecare agencies, OTs, PTs, and discharge planners, confirm what’s practical for a handyman visit, and report back when the work is done. Out-of-town family gets photos and a plain-English summary by phone or text.
Are your technicians background-checked?+
Yes. Every technician is background-checked, bonded, and insured, and trained to work in homes where someone frail is present: shoe covers, low-dust methods, clear walkways at all times, and quiet hours respected.
Can this be combined with other small jobs?+
Tell us about the full list. We can review which jobs fit together, rather than assuming every repair needs a separate visit.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No runaround.
- 1. Call or request a quote. Tell us what's on the list — a phone call is perfect, photos help but aren't required.
- 2. We confirm fit and a flat price. We'll tell you honestly if the job suits a handyman visit, and quote it flat before anyone rolls a truck.
- 3. One tidy visit, then a walkthrough. Shoe covers on, walkways kept clear, and we walk the finished work with you before we leave.

A VISIT THAT FITS YOUR HOME
Know what happens before anyone gets started.
We begin by understanding your priority and checking whether the task is suitable for a handyman visit. Photos and dimensions can help, but a phone conversation is a perfectly good place to start.
Before the visit, agree who will supply parts, how the working area will be accessed, and who can approve the work. Tell us about pets, fragile belongings, or times when the household needs quiet.
Once the agreed work is complete, ask for a walkthrough and any instructions about drying, curing, weight limits, or using newly fitted items. If another trade or specialist is needed, that should be part of the conversation.
