Ace Access Homes plans and builds home safety modifications for aging in place, from the first assessment to the finished installation, across Southern California.
Aging-in-place modification sits between two licensed fields. Medical professionals can identify what a body needs, but they cannot modify a home. Contractors can modify a home, but they are not trained in what an aging body needs. Ace Access Homes holds both qualifications in one company, as a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist firm and a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1087045), so families never have to carry a care plan between a clinic and a job site.
You should not have to be the translator. Ace Access Homes is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist firm and a licensed California contractor in one company. The clinical recommendation and the construction work come from the same people. You make one call and stop carrying the plan back and forth.
There is a correct answer, and it depends on how your mother pulls herself up. We place each bar at a measured height, on the side she uses, anchored into blocking rated for her full weight. A handyman installs hardware. We install to a clinical standard.
We are. Even so, you should not have to take anyone's word for it. Every recommendation we make comes in writing with the finding behind it: what we saw, in which room, and why it matters for her. A normal proposal gives you a price. Ours gives you the reasoning, on pages her occupational therapist can read and check.
You call once. The assessment, the written findings, the equipment order, and the installation are one company's responsibility. We are an authorized dealer for the stairlifts, ramps, and shower systems we install, and we service what we install. Nothing gets handed off, and nothing gets blamed on someone else.
Grab bars come in finishes that match the rest of the bathroom. Walk-in showers are built with stone-look and marble-look wall panels. Ramps and rails are sized and placed to fit the house. The work makes the home safer and leaves it looking like the same home.
Find the one that sounds like yours.
Discharge dates arrive with only a few days of notice, and the therapist's home recommendations arrive with them. Send us the discharge paperwork and we scope the work directly from it. Grab bars, handrails, and other small safety work can be scoped and installed before discharge day, and grab bar installations are completed the same day. Some of this work may be covered, and our payment options page explains which programs may apply.
Call (805) 500-0801Families often call in the week after a fall, in the middle of appointments and hard decisions, without a clear first step. We give you the sequence: what has to change before she is home alone again, what can wait, and what each step costs. The most urgent work is usually in the bathroom, and it is often smaller than families expect.
Call (805) 500-0801A progressive condition changes what a home has to do, and most families end up modifying it one crisis at a time. Our assessment accounts for where these conditions commonly lead, such as a walker, a wheelchair, or help with transfers, so the work done now is sized for what comes next. Grab bars are anchored for full body weight. Doorways are measured for a wheelchair before one is needed. You make one plan instead of reacting to every change.
Start with the free Home Safety CheckThe free Home Safety Check is a phone or video call, so it works from anywhere you live. You receive written findings with photographs that you, your parent, and her care team can read from three different states. Once work begins, one local company is accountable for all of it, and you have one number to call. You do not have to fly out to get this started.
Start with the free Home Safety CheckStart with the free Home Safety Check: a phone call, a careful set of questions, and written findings that are yours to keep. If you have called contractors who never called back, the small job is the one we show up for. If a spouse is doing the lifting and the transfers, the right modifications protect both of you. And if the honest answer is that staying is not the right plan, we say so, and we help you weigh the cost of modifying against the monthly cost of a facility. Stairlifts can be rented when the need may be short, and our payment options page explains which programs may help pay.
Start with the free Home Safety CheckOccupational therapists, physical therapists, discharge planners, care managers, and home care agencies refer clients to us when a home has to change. Your client receives our $329 Home Safety Assessment at no charge, and you receive a written report you can place in the chart. The clinical reasoning is on the page, so you can check our work against your own.

I started Ace Access Homes because of the question families ask after a fall or a frightening diagnosis: what has to change about this house so that she can stay in it? Answering it takes clinical training and a contractor's license, and families were being asked to supply the connection between the two on their own.
You do not have to take my word for what makes us different. Ask any company you are considering two questions: who holds the contractor's license, and who holds the aging-in-place certification. Most can answer one. Ace Access Homes was built to answer both.
There is no call center here and no franchise script. Every job that carries this company's name answers to me. If it is time to take a careful look at your home, start with the free Home Safety Check: a phone or video call, and written findings that are yours to keep. We would be glad to meet you.
Two ways to begin, and both end the same way: with written findings and the decision left entirely with you.
A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist reviews the home with you on a free call. Nobody drives out, and you receive your written Home Safety Check Findings with every risk ranked by urgency.
Start with the free Home Safety CheckThe full in-home version. We walk the home with you, measure your comfortable reach, height, and grip, and deliver the complete written Home Safety Report, suitable for family, physicians, and grant applications.
