About The Adapted Home

The Adapted Home helps older adults and their families find products that fit their home. Not a home in general. Yours.

A tub rail that doesn't fit your tub wall is no help. A transfer pole that's too short for your ceiling won't hold. So we start with your measurements: tub wall, ceiling height, mattress thickness, toilet bowl shape. Then we show the products whose maker specs fit.

We also show where you can borrow before you buy. Every state has an assistive technology program, and many lend equipment so you can try it at home first.

Our ground rules

• Specs come from the maker's own page. If the maker doesn't publish a number, we say "Not listed" rather than guess.
• Safety facts name their source, such as Medicare.gov, the FDA, the CPSC, ADA.gov or the U.S. Access Board.
• No brand or store pays to be listed or ranked.
• We don't test products ourselves, and we never say we have.

Who we are

The Adapted Home is run by GrantWorks 360 Consulting, LLC, a small company in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our clinical reviewer is Dana Delaney, a certified occupational therapy assistant (COTA) and a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS).

What we are not

We are not a store. We don't sell, ship or repair anything. We are not a health care provider either. For anything about your health, your balance or a fall, talk to your doctor or another health care provider, such as an occupational therapist.

How we're paid

We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site. It never changes which products fit or the order they appear in. How we choose stores and our affiliate disclosure have the details.

Say hello

See a mistake, or know a product we should add? We read every message, and a link to the maker's page helps us fix a spec quickly.
