Frequently Asked Questions

Our goal in creating an FAQ link was to address some of the most frequently asked questions, but also address questions that some may be afraid to ask. We trust these FAQ’s are helpful.

To be clear, this is not an exhaustive list of FAQ’s, but is a list nonetheless that applies to all those surrounding AIP/Aging In Place as well as both injury and illness related mobility challenges…but with those challenges, a host of solutions and resources.

If you have a question you think needs to be on our list; we openly welcome your suggestion, or simply call us. We want this web portal to be just that; a portal of information that is as inclusive as possible on every mobility-related concern; and with the concern; a resource-rich array of solutions.
