Moving Mom to Assisted Living

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

The day finally came when Mom needed more help than we could provide on our own. It was a hard decision, but when we finally went to check out our options, we felt so much better.

These new assisted living centers aren¹t the old, smelly, nursing homes where I remember my Grandma spending her last days. These bright, friendly apartments are designed with everything Mom needs‹including wheelchair access to all parts of the apartment. But it feels so much more like a home.
She has a nurse who comes to check on her each night and morning. There are activities designed for her and others in their wheelchairs. I wish we could do it all for her. But at least, we feel better about where she is now.

A Tax Tip for the Disabled - Wheelchair Ramps

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Did you know that if you’ve added wheelchair ramps to your home or made other major improvements to your home to accommodate your wheelchair or power wheelchair that you can write off the cost of the improvements on your taxes? It’s true.

There is a little catch. The IRS has a little worksheet that makes sure you can only write off costs over and above any appreciation the improvement adds to your home. But that still gives you a great opportunity to see savings on your taxes. So be sure to save all those receipts whether it’s materials you purchase yourself or invoices from a contractor.

And it can be any improvement, a wheelchair ramp, a wheelchair-accessible kitchen, wider hallways—anything you can think of that make accommodations for your wheelchair.
