Handicap accessible home modifications for people with cognitive disabilities such as brain injuries, dementia, developmental delays or autism are much different than barrier free modifications for people with physical disabilities. Taking care of someone with a cognitive impairment is a very difficult and demanding task. Modifying your home environment to increase safety and ease of care may be the difference between your loved one staying at home or going into a residential placement. Proper modifications and precautionary measures make your job of taking care of your loved one easier and in some cases possible.
