Another popular project is to reduce trip and slip hazards by installing slip-resistant flooring and grab bars.  Read the entire article here.

Reverse mortgages have been helping seniors age in place for quite some time now.  There are many reasons to use a reverse mortgage, and one of those is to help fund home improvement projects.  The cash obtained from a reverse mortgage is non-taxable and can be used for any purpose at all.
