States Programs for Home Modifications for the Elderly (non-Medicaid)


 What are State Assistance Programs for Home Modifications?
Some states have financial assistance programs, often called nursing home diversion programs that are not funded by Medicaid.  The objective of these programs is to prevent the unnecessary institutionalization of the elderly.  To that end these programs help pay for home modifications to enable the elderly and disabled to remain living at home.   In addition, to helping seniors pay for environmental adaptations to their homes, some of these programs help pay for assistive technologies. 

Typically the types of modifications covered by these programs include wheelchair ramps, bathroom re-models, stair-lifts, doorway widening and kitchen modifications.  These programs may include grants or loans or often a combination of grants and loans are provided.
