Home Modifications and Adaptive Equipment

 
The Independent Living Center provides limited home modifications to individuals who are physically disabled.  Any modifications provided by TILC must improve the access and safety for the individual residing in the home.  Examples of home modifications include wheelchair ramps and grab bar installation.
