EAA Home Accessibility Assessments / Modifications

This part of the EAA service covers installation, purchase, maintenance, labor, portable or permanent equipment, materials, devices, and systems that are integral to the home accessibility modification/install project.

Accessibility 101 understands the home accessibility assessments / modification process, and understands that case managers are not general contractors, field project managers, or DME experts.  Accessibility 101 can manage and help navigate the home modification process for Minnesota’s Bi, CAC, CADI, DD, and EW waiver participants.   Utilize our expertise to save time, save money, and improve patient care, quality, and safety.

Recommendations

  • Home accessibility site visit to gather information, take measurements, pictures and highlighting the current areas of need.
  • Create a report that includes current condition of the area/location as well as the proposed modifications needed for safety and access for the client.

Scope of  Work:

  • Create a Scope of Work complete with pictures and/or drawings for contractors to accurately give an “apples to apples” bid.
  • Contact licensed, qualified contractors to bid on the proposed project.
  • Review bids and ensure that the Scope of Work elements have all been addressed and the contractors are clear on the project objectives.
  • Present the bids to the Case Manager and recommend the best contractor for the project.

Coordination:

  • Pre-construction meeting with contractor and client to select all materials to be used and to discuss project timeline.
  • Construction site visits during the construction phase to ensure that the project is on track with expectations.
  • Final walk thru, client sign-off, and final contractor invoice.
