Two months ago, I moderated a panel titled How to Make Accessible Bathroom Remodeling Work for You at the Building Opportunities Summit. This conference was hosted by VGM Live at Home (which is a member services group of accessible remodeling contractors and their suppliers).

Since the largest number of falls occur in the bathroom, and given that this group of contractors (which also includes companies who sell and rent medical supplies and…

Let’s face it – no matter where you live there’s A LOT of bath remodeling contractors to choose from.
