Empowering Lives: Threshold’s Renovation Work Across the State of Ohio Transforms Homes, Families and Communities

Jul 10, 2024

At Threshold Residential Services, we believe in fostering personal growth and independence in individuals with developmental disabilities. One way we achieve this crucial mission is through our Environmental Accessibility Adaptations program, designed to renovate homes and transform them into safe havens for people with developmental disabilities. These adaptations aim to provide high-quality living arrangements for those with developmental disabilities by remodeling, renovating, and adapting homes so they can live more comfortably and independently. Whether it’s grab bars, wheelchair ramps, roll under sinks, and cabinetry or floor plan modification, accessible toilets, or widening of hallways and doorways, Threshold modifies homes so that they are easily accessible for people with developmental disabilities and mobility issues.

With our Environmental Accessibility Adaptations program, we’re able to renovate the homes of our individuals so they have a safer place to live and are able to do so freely. Our client-centric approach and long-standing relationship with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities and the Columbiana County Board of Developmental Disabilities further solidifies our position as a trusted partner in transforming homes and lives throughout the state of Ohio.

Improved accessibility means navigating spaces, breaking barriers, and enhancing overall mobility. Increased safety for our residents goes beyond minimizing hazards; it’s about creating a secure living environment that reduces the risk of accidents. In a recent renovation, we removed the floor separation between two rooms when the floors were redone so that individuals in wheelchairs can safely get from one room to another and those who have difficulty walking no longer have a tripping hazard in their home. We’ve also done simple additions like adding grab handles in showers so people don’t slip and fall.

Our expertise demonstrates our commitment to high-quality work, tailored services, and credibility in the developmental disabilities space. Our efficient processes and dedicated staff allow for a high-quality, yet efficient workflow so we can cover any urgent needs.

Unparalleled Accessibility Solutions

Threshold goes beyond basic modifications, enabling individuals with disabilities to effortlessly navigate their homes. We reduce barriers and obstacles, enhancing overall mobility and usability to create spaces that cater to unique needs.

Safety Reimagined

With a focus on safety, we minimize potential hazards, fostering a living environment that is not just renovated but inherently safer. Individuals with developmental disabilities oftentimes require specific safety features to live more independently. Threshold takes this into consideration and provides options for home modifications that will aid the individual in their day-to-day living so they don’t have to rely on others to provide for them. We also significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, providing peace of mind for both individuals and their caregivers.

Empowering Independence

Threshold’s commitment to our individuals goes further than the physical modifications we provide. Our main reason is to give our residents more independence in their daily lives and give them the ability to thrive in their day-to-day activities.We enhance the overall quality of life, fostering a sense of self-reliance and confidence in those with developmental disabilities.

Certification and Knowledge

Trust in our high-quality work and tailored services specifically designed for individuals with developmental disabilities. We are certified by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, and the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments. We are also members of Ohio Provider Resources Association so we’re intune to the latest technology and insights in the sector.

Financial Support

Our understanding of Medicaid billing not only facilitates the financial process for individuals relying on Medicaid but also reduces the overall financial burden associated with accessibility modifications. Did you know in the state of Ohio Medicaid provides up to $10,000 for renovations?

Threshold Residential Services continues to provide quality adaptations and renovations for all those with developmental disabilities. With a knowledge of the needs of those with developmental disabilities and the resources to provide these modifications, Threshold is the right choice for anyone looking to improve their household’s quality of life with a home modification.
