Renovate your home and support people with physical disabilities!
(1/30/2009 7:49:35 PM)


March of Dimes will be hosting booth #5619 at the National Home Show taking place at the National Trade Centre, Exhibition Place in Toronto, February 20th – March 1st. 

 

Experts from March of Dimes Canada and Therapist’s Choice Medical Supplies will be on-hand at the booth to provide information on home accessibility.

 

On Monday, February 23rd at 3pm, staff from March of Dimes and Therapist’s Choice will be giving a dynamic presentation that demonstrates that age and physical disability need not prevent maintaining independence in your home. 

 

During the presentation, the Barrier-Free Design Consultants will provide design expertise in accommodating the needs of people with disabilities during the development or redesign of their house.  They will demonstrate that home accessibility doesn’t need to mean expensive renovations, but rather that there are a variety of ways a home can be modified, from the simplest change of a round doorknob to a lever style handle, to more permanent modifications of grab bars, chair lifts and home security installations.  While many people fear that making such adjustments will make their home look institutional, or like a hospital, the opposite is true.  Our experts will show that barrier-Free design means only removing the obstacles that impede comfortable living.  March of Dimes will demonstrate that a home can be accessible and beautiful.

 

Interested guests can purchase discounted tickets through the March of Dimes Canada website at www.marchofdimes.ca.
