Independent Living Solutions
Disability Advocates offers a thorough assessment of the person, home, and environment to identify barriers to independent living. An Occupational Therapist will assess the situation, set up and implement a plan to make the home environment accessible through modifications and/or equipment. Our program goal is to keep people safe and independent in their home environment. Disability Advocates serves consumers in Kent, Ionia, Montcalm, Mecosta, and Osceola counties.
