Safety   We have installed a variety of safety items throughout the home including outlet covers, window cord fasteners, safety gates, fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, window escapes, fences, and playground surfacing material.     

Handicap Accessibility  We have a wheelchair ramp coming into the front door and another out the back door to the backyard and patio.  The main floor bathroom has been modified with a wider door, a wheelchair accessible sink and wall grab bars.  My daycare van is handicap accessible with grab bars on the back of each seat, and stair steps  I have a hydraulic wheelchair lift with wheelchair hold-down strap systems complete with lap and shoulder seatbelts to secure 2 wheelchair passengers.

Allergans We have a non smoking home with no indoor pets.  Our furnace has an electrostatic air filter and a humidifier attached.  A portable HEPA filter is also available.
