New program
Southwest Georgia program sends an OT first, then contractors install the changes
The Southwest Georgia Regional Commission is running a home-change program for about 100 to 120 low-income homeowners age 62 and older in 14 counties. It estimates $5,000 to $15,000 of work per home: ramps, grab bars, handrails, wider doors, bath and kitchen access. A licensed occupational therapist checks each home first, then an approved contractor does the work. Intake: (229) 522-3552, extension 118.
