Aging in Place & Home Modifications in Central Florida

Aging in place and home modification services

Each service has its own page with what the job involves, the options and the questions people ask most. Most homes need only a few of these. The bathroom is often first, but the kitchen, entries, hallways and bedrooms matter just as much.

A handyman for seniors, and for the families who look after them

A lot of what keeps an older adult safe at home is ordinary handyman work done with care: a grab bar where they already reach, a toilet that is not too low, a step they no longer have to climb, a light they can find at night. We have done this kind of work across Central Florida since 2020, and we take the time to watch how the person moves through the house before we suggest anything.

If you live out of town, we can work with you by phone, text and email, send photos of the finished work, and schedule around a caregiver's visits.

Just need grab bars?

For a grab-bar-only job, you can also book directly with Grab Bar Heroes, a HandyMangum company that does nothing but grab bars. When grab bars are part of a bigger safety update, HandyMangum handles the whole list in one visit.

How we approach accessibility work

• Installed following ADA guidelines, then fitted to the person who will use it
• Bars and rails anchored into framing or into anchors rated for the load
• A written quote before any work starts, and free estimates on every job
• Licensed and insured, insured up to $1M, with a 1-year warranty
• Our own team: uniformed employees and background-checked technicians
• If any part of the job needs a permit or a state-licensed trade, such as new plumbing lines or new wiring, we tell you during the quote and that part is handled by properly licensed professionals.

Help paying for home modifications

We do not process grants or bill insurance, but these programs help many Central Florida families pay for safety changes. Check eligibility with them directly; we give you a written, itemized quote you can submit.

• Veterans: the VA HISA grant helps veterans with a qualifying condition pay for medically necessary home changes, and the VA Specially Adapted Housing grants cover larger adaptations for veterans with certain service-connected disabilities.
• Medicare Advantage and Medicaid: some Medicare Advantage plans and Florida Medicaid long-term care programs include home safety benefits. Ask your plan.
• Local help: your local Area Agency on Aging can point you to county and nonprofit programs.

Walk-in shower or walk-in tub?

For most people who find stepping over a tub hard, a walk-in or curbless shower is the simpler, safer daily choice: no door to wait on and room for a seat and a handheld shower. A walk-in tub suits people who really want to soak, but you sit inside while it fills and drains. We talk it through with you before you decide.

What customers say

• “Mike and his team have not only completed work at my home, but also at my Mom’s house. From kitchen counter work to exterior work at my home to leak detection, mold removal and a major repair at my Mom’s. They were on-time, the communication process was great, payment was easy and the overall project was done to complete satisfaction. I’m not handy at all, so I’m very thankful to have them on standby whenever I need their services.”

  Daryl H. Google review

• “HandyMangum was great! Their availability was flexible and they are reasonably priced. Eddie was our tech and he was on time and very polite. He helped with placement recommendations before installing the safety bars and made sure the height would be appropriate for my mother in law specifically. When finished I couldn’t even tell he was in there besides the bars being hung. The space was clean and there wasn’t any debris/ dust anywhere to be found. I highly recommend this company for safety bar installation.”
