Liveability Assessments
As trained Aging in Place specialists, we conduct home safety assessments identifying changes to make a home more safe and comfortable as homeowners age.

Estate Document "ICE-Box"
No one likes to think about an emergency - so let us. We can help identify and gather important information all in one place (or two actually: hard copy and digital). Medical, financial, legal, passwords - all together when you need it most in your ICE-Box (In Case of Emergency). Additionally we can work with your townships File of Life pack.
