Rehoboth Beach Aging-in-Place and Home Safety Handyman Services
Safe home updates for aging adults—so you can stay comfortably, safely, and confidently at home.
Trusted modifications by a local expert with 28+ years in home health and physical therapy
Aging-in-place doesn’t have to mean navigating a home that feels unsafe or inconvenient. Whether you're an older adult or caring for one, I provide personalized, hands-on home modifications, like grab bars, raised toilets, safer lighting, and more, to help you or your loved one stay independent longer.
I'm Linda Pierce, your local "fix-it lady" in Rehoboth Beach, DE. As a physical therapist with decades of experience and a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), I've seen firsthand how delaying home updates can impact your safety. My goal is to help you proactively prepare your home so you can live independently for years to come.

Solving a Real Pain Point
Most of my clients and their families, don’t need a full remodel. They need someone they trust to install a grab bar correctly, upgrade a toilet, or reroute an outlet. They need someone who knows what’s needed, why it matters, and how to make it work with the home they already love.
Sometimes adult children are trying to help a parent from out of town. Other times, it’s just too intimidating, too time-consuming, or too technical to take on alone.That’s where I come in.
I offer age-in-place solutions that make your home safer now—so you don’t haveto move later.
