Why Aging in Place Modifications Matter

Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall, and with one in four Americans aged 65 and older experiencing a fall each year, it's no surprise that falls have become the leading cause of injury-related deaths in this age group. Most of these falls happen at home, but the good news is that most are preventable with the right modifications. Our aging-in-place assessments are designed to identify hazards before they cause injury, ensuring that you or your loved ones can remain safely independent at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Do you offer Aging in Place upgrades for seniors?

Yes. Yerba Buena Property Care proudly offers Aging in Place solutions for homeowners who want to remain safely and comfortably in their homes as they age. We make targeted home upgrades that promote independence, accessibility, and fall prevention — all customized to your home’s layout and your needs.

Question

How do you determine pricing for your services?

Our pricing is based on the type of service, materials required, and the scope of the job. We provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Reach out to us to discuss specifics for your project.

Question

Do you work with occupational therapists or care coordinators?

We’re happy to collaborate with OTs, elder care professionals, or family members as part of your support team. If you already have a home safety report, we can work directly from that. Otherwise, we can help you identify common hazards and offer practical fixes.

Question

Is this service covered by insurance or Medicare?

In most cases, home modification services are paid out-of-pocket, but some long-term care insurance plans may reimburse certain accessibility upgrades. We can provide itemized estimates to help with documentation.

Question

How long does the assessment take?

90 minutes for the walkthrough, plus we deliver your detailed report within 5-7 business days.

Question

Can you help implement the changes?

Yes! We can handle most installations ourselves, and we coordinate licensed trades for work outside our B-2 scope.
