efgh1020 - You have brought up very good suggestions that my wife and I have also discussed. I think the stair chair will be something we need to look into, or we might use a first level bedroom/bath now not in use. I am not at that point, yet. Both of us like our home having been here 36 years and have no interest in selling. You are 100% right about the cost of this disease, some day, I am hopeful that insurance companies will become more liberal minded in their coverages involving PN. Like yourself, whatever accommodations we may need to do will be done with safety as a priority. Our main living level is 2 steps off the ground so that is a plus. Be safe and let's all stay positive.

We sold our condo on a nice lake 5 months ago; it had an elevator that kept breaking down and our Management team was so financially inept that I was concerned my dependence on an elevator for daily living. Our search in our preferred area for an ADA home was exhaustive; 55+ communities with activities are very rare. With my handicap and a 76 yr old husband to plan for as well, we needed a smart, safe, newer home. Our searches began to include concessions we could possibly make, where we could buy something and modify for our ADA needs. The garage lift was one - it looked like a great resource for those of us in need! But wow, you’re right.. they weren’t cheap. We’re finally under contract on a perfect ADA home in a very active community, 3 hours away in SC. That state builds for retirees/disabled. (Tax friendlier too) We’re disappointed to leave here, but in the new place we’ll be more comfortable and both have many opportunities to keep us active within our limits. You’re right - our disease is expensive!
