Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we remain inspired by the strength, compassion, and unity our nation showed in the days that followed. We remember those who never came home, the families who continue to carry their loss, and everyone whose life was forever changed.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

Choosing the right patient lift can feel overwhelming—especially when you are already worried about keeping a loved one safe.

Our new guide explains the differences between:

✅ Floor lifts
✅ Ceiling lifts
✅ Freestanding gantry systems
✅ Sit-to-stand lifts

We also cover weight capacities, sling options, caregiver considerations, and possible funding through Medicare, the VA, Medicaid waivers, and private insurance.

If transfers from a bed, wheelchair, toilet, or shower are becoming difficult, this guide is a good place to start.

Wondering what a stairlift really costs? 🪜 Straight lifts usually land between $3,000 and $6,000 installed. Curved ones with a custom rail run more. We updated our cost guide with current Bruno pricing, what drives the number up or down, and the honest truth about which funding programs help (and which don't). What's the one thing holding you back from looking into it?

Should you stay in the home you love, or is it time to move? 🏡

It's one of the hardest conversations families have — and the numbers surprise almost everyone. Assisted living now runs a national median of $6,200 per month. Most home modifications? A one-time investment.

Our new guide walks through the honest answer: when staying makes sense, when moving really is the better call, and how to compare the real costs for your own situation.

Would you trust a homemade ramp with someone you love? 🤔

We see well-meaning DIY ramps all the time — built by family, neighbors, or a
local group trying to help. The problem is the details that don't show up until
someone's using it: too steep, no handrails, no traction when it rains.

A properly planned ramp accounts for all of it. We'll come evaluate your home for
free, no pressure, no obligation.

DIY wheelchair ramps often skip the slope, width, and handrail basics that keep people safe. See the risks and what a properly planned ramp includes.

If you're caring for a parent or spouse with dementia, you already know the house doesn't feel as safe as it used to. A step that was never a problem before suddenly is. A bathroom you've used for years suddenly isn't so simple.

More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today, and about 80% of them are cared for at home — which makes the house itself one of your most important tools as a caregiver. We put together a room-by-room guide (built from National Institute on Aging and CDC guidance) covering the entryway, stairs, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen — what actually helps, and how to tackle it gradually instead of all at once. 💙

A practical, room-by-room guide to dementia home safety — from stairs and bathrooms to entryways — plus the accessibility modifications that help.

Stand in your bathroom and look at it the way a physical therapist would. 🚿

Four things we check on every Indianapolis in-home assessment:

1️⃣ Is there anything solid to grab on the way up? A towel bar is not a grab bar — it will pull straight out of the drywall.
2️⃣ Is there a tub wall or step to climb over? That is the single biggest fall risk in the room.
3️⃣ Can they sit down and stand back up without pushing off the sink?
4️⃣ Is the floor slick when wet, and does the bath mat slide?

If any of those give you pause, it is worth a conversation. The fixes are usually smaller and faster than people assume — and they do not have to make the room look like a hospital.

Loading a wheelchair or scooter shouldn't take two people. 🛻

We hear it all the time from Indianapolis families: the wheelchair is the reason someone stopped going to church, to lunch, to the grandkids' games. Muscling it over a tailgate or into a trunk is heavy, awkward, and hard on your back — and one bad lift can end the whole outing.

A vehicle lift does that work for you. Car, SUV, minivan, or pickup, there's a setup that fits: hitch-mounted platforms and carriers, truck bed lifts that load a wheelchair or scooter without anyone hoisting it over the side, interior hoists, and swing-away options that keep your cargo space usable.

We measure your vehicle and your equipment first, then recommend — no guessing.

The stairs get all the attention. The bathroom is where most falls actually happen. 🚿

Here's a real before and after from one of our Altamira installs:

✅ Properly anchored grab bars — not suction cups
✅ A curbless or low-threshold shower entry
✅ A chair-height toilet, easier to sit down and stand back up
✅ A handheld sprayer, so nobody has to stand and turn

None of it has to look clinical — and this is proof. Same bathroom, same footprint, just built for how the space actually gets used.

Most of it goes in faster than people expect. If you're not sure where to start, we'll walk the space with you — free, no obligation.

"Will a stairlift ruin the look of my staircase?" We hear this a LOT from Indianapolis homeowners.

Short answer: no — and here's why. Today's stairlifts come in slim rail profiles that hug the stairs, upholstery to match your decor, and swivel seats that fold flush against the wall when not in use. Most customers tell us they forget it's even there until they need it.

We're proud authorized Bruno dealers serving Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Greenwood, and beyond — every install starts with a free, no-pressure in-home assessment.

💰 Medicare won't pay for a stairlift or ramp — but that doesn't mean you're stuck footing the entire bill.

We put together everything families actually use to fund home accessibility: VA grants, Medicaid waivers, a USDA program most people have never heard of, a HUD grant for seniors, even a tax deduction hiding in plain sight. Most families end up combining two or three of these.

See all 8 options 👇

One tip from the article: if you think you might need a Medicaid waiver down the road, apply now — the national wait averages nearly 3 years.

Medicare won't cover it, but VA, Medicaid, USDA, HUD, tax deductions, and financing might. See all 8 ways families fund home accessibility.
