Maneuvering and functioning in the home or business environment can be difficult, if not impossible for an individual with physical limitations.

MEDAccess, Inc. assessment/consultation services provide verbal and written documentation relating to accessibility issues in the client’s home or the business environment. The level of detail involved will be determined by the specific assessment study requested. The Access Utilization Study creates awareness of potential obstacles and aids in the development of a plan that addresses the appropriate modifications.

MEDAccess, Inc. will consult with physicians, therapists and other healthcare providers to assure consideration of client-specific modifications. We offer four different levels of our home or office Access Utilization Study, ranging from verbal consult, to extensive written assessment complete with explanations and diagrams of the recommended modifications. MEDAccess, Inc. assessments are designed to go beyond building code requirements by addressing the unique needs of each client, both current and future.

MEDAccess, Inc. has a Licensed General Contractor and a Licensed Registered Nurse on staff providing knowledgeable accessibility solutions.
