General information only
Everything on Simple Aging is general information for education. It is not medical, legal, tax or financial advice, and it doesn't replace advice from a professional who knows your situation.
Talk to a professional about your situation
We don't know your health, your home or your needs. For advice about your own situation, talk to a doctor, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or other qualified professional. For tax questions, check with the Canada Revenue Agency, the IRS or a tax professional.
In an emergency, call 911.
Products and installation
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and weight limits. Some equipment, such as grab bars, must be installed securely to work as intended. If you're not sure how, ask a qualified installer or contractor.
Prices, programs and rules change
Product details, prices, tax credits and funding programs change, often every year. Each guide shows when it was last reviewed, and each figure links to its source. Please confirm details with the manufacturer, seller or program before you rely on them.
Links to other websites
We link to government agencies, manufacturers and stores. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content.
