One of the most overlooked challenges of limb loss happens the moment you walk through your own front door. Suddenly, stairs that were routine become dangerous. Bathrooms that were perfectly fine become impossible to navigate safely. Doorways that never felt narrow are now too tight for a wheelchair. The kitchen becomes an exhausting obstacle course.

It is shockingly common for amputees to be discharged from the hospital without adequate consideration for whether their home is safe or accessible. Many rely on sponge baths because they cannot get their wheelchair into the bathroom. Others fall trying to hop into a shower without grab bars or a transfer bench. Some go without proper meals because they cannot sustain the energy required to get groceries, prepare food, and clean up. Others miss critical medical appointments because they cannot safely get in and out of their own home.

These problems are all solvable. They require modifications, services, and equipment that cost money most amputees do not have on top of their medical bills. The H.O.M.E. program exists to eliminate those barriers. We fund the renovations and home services that restore independence, safety, and dignity inside your own home.
