How do we choose the right roll-in shower or accessible bathroom layout?

Every client’s needs are different. We assess mobility, transfer method, caregiver support, safety risks, and the home’s layout to design a custom roll-in shower, seating, grab bar placement, and clearances that fit the person using the space.

Can you help adult children who live out of state manage modifications for parents in Michigan?

Yes. We can coordinate communication by phone and email, share scope details and photos, and keep family members informed throughout the accessible home modification process in Southeast Michigan.

Do you install wheelchair ramps and lifts for home access?

Yes. We provide accessibility solutions including wheelchair ramp installation, handicap ramp installation, and disability lift options for homes, based on site conditions, rise, space, and safety needs.

Is residential remodeling required to follow ADA rules?

Residential projects are typically governed by local building codes, not full ADA requirements. However, we apply accessibility best practices and safety clearances when designing barrier-free remodeling for seniors and people with disabilities.

What areas do you serve?

BFA, LLC serves Southeast Michigan including Oakland, Washtenaw, Wayne, Macomb, and Livingston Counties (excluding Detroit).

How much does it cost to remodel a bathroom to be handicap accessible?

Costs vary based on the existing layout, the accessibility needs, and the finishes selected. We provide a detailed, custom estimate after an on-site evaluation so the design fits the client’s needs and the home’s conditions.

Do you work with insurance adjusters and case managers?

Yes. We can provide estimates, documentation, and progress photos for insurance adjusters and case managers. Coordination and approvals are handled by the case manager/insurance team per the client’s process.

Glamping?!

Have you heard of Glamping, or glamorous camping?

Glamping is a "comfort-focused way" to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks to this trend, people with disabilities can now enjoy the great outdoors easier than ever. Lynn Anderson, a professor in the recreation, parks and leisure studies department at the State University of New York at Cortland mentions in the Momentum article that “You’re able to spend time in the outdoors overnight but have some of the amenities that you’re used to in everyday life to facilitate that experience.”

Karen Francisco, a customer service specialist who was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS says, “I go for lots of walks. The quiet is very peaceful, and the fresh air is energizing. It gives me the opportunity to think about life and decompress.” Wouldn't you agree that wilderness therapy is a great way to de-stress?

Check out the article here to read more stories of fellow glampers with MS telling their experiences with glamping. The article also provides information on planning your next trip and places to stay that are accessible.

“I tell people to think about the experience they’d like to have, rather than potential limitations. Maybe it’s getting into the mountains, or maybe it’s waking up to the sound of crashing surf? With glamping, there are ways to make it possible.”

I am inspired to plan my next trip. Are you?
