Long Island seniors, who need to modify their homes so they can stay safe, can get help from United Way of Long Island's new $1 million federal grant. The program provides equipment such as grab bars, railings, lever-handled doorknobs and faucets, and nonslip strips for tubs, showers and stairs. The aim is to help seniors to continue living at home instead of moving to elder-care facilities. Upgrades also could include ramp construction services and chair lifts, if needed. The group will send occupational therapists into seniors’ homes to check for hazards and health problems, and its workers will make the upgrades.
