Before & After |
CP Rochester has over 12 years of experience providing home modifications to the homes of individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. These adaptations have been designed to provide a safer, more usable environment, thus maximizing independence and enabling individuals who have developmental and other disabilities, or who are elderly and frail, to continue living in the home and neighborhood of their choice.
In addition to home renovations, CP Rochester also employs an Adaptive Technology Resource Apartment (ATRA) team. This team of Occupational and Physical Therapists is available to provide assessment of the individual’s needs for changes within the home. The team ensures that the program is clinically based and provides individuals the opportunity to access the most current technology in designing changes to the home environment that better meet their needs
Accessible Home Renovations employs individuals who are Certified Aging in Place Specialists. These professionals have received this designation from the National Home Builders Association. They have completed training designed to enhance technical, business management and customer service skills needed to effectively provide renovations to the homes of individuals who wish to age in place. The Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) designation denotes a commitment to assist individuals remaining in their home safely, independently and comfortably regardless of their age, income or level of ability. The CAPS designer has studied the aging in place market and is familiar with the needs of these individuals.
“CP Rochester did the impossible - it made me realize that I could remain in my home well past what I was beginning to think was my expiration date. With thoughtful care, consideration and skill, a walk-in shower was recently installed in my bathroom via a generous grant from CP Rochester**. The grant also provided me with levers to replace all the doorknobs in my home. Each staff member with whom I was fortunate enough to come in contact was gracious, expert, and incredibly sensitive to me.” -- Sheridan L. Wilson
