Hi,
We would like to keep our family member with ALS at home. Which renovations would be necessary to make it easier to care for someone with ALS?
At this point, cooking/house cleaning etc. is out of the question for the patient. So we are not looking at renos that will help the person do those things. We are rather trying to find out what renos others have found necessary in caring for someone with ALS. For example, did the carpet have to go, because it is easier to move a wheelchair on other flooring? What type of bath-system has to be installed? Those are just examples. Let me know which renos you can't live without.
Thanks
Lucie
