Why we know this works
Why we know this works
Finding a good contractor can be really hard. And finding one that has some experience with specialized accommodations due to health is even more tricky. We personally struggled with keeping a good running list in our heads for people we trusted to refer to our patients and that's just for the cities we live in!
So we are so excited to be able to have this great resource available because every service provider in the VGM Live at Home network is a Master Certified Environmental Access Consultant and can do everything from building a custom ramp to replacing a tub with a shower, add a stair lift or even put in an elevator!
