Do I need to be experiencing mobility issues to have an assessment?

No. Planning ahead is one of the best ways to make a home adaptable without having to make rushed decisions later.

Will my home need major renovations?

Not necessarily. Some of the most meaningful improvements can be relatively simple. We prioritize solutions based on the actual needs of the home and homeowner.

Can you complete the modifications you recommend?

Yes! As a licensed NC General Contractor, True Trust can help take recommendations from assessment to construction and finalization.

Can you help with a bathroom or kitchen renovation specifically for aging in place?

Yes! We can incorporate universal design and accessibility considerations into renovations so the space works better now and remains adaptable in the future.

Can you help my parents if I don't live nearby?

Of course! We can assess the home, explain concerns, develop priorities, coordinate repairs or modifications, and provide communication throughout the process.

What happens after the assessment?

You'll have a clearer understanding of the home's current risks and opportunities. From there, you can address immediate concerns, plan future improvements, or work with us to implement the recommended solutions.
