How It Works in Dover

Four steps from first call to fully accessible home.

Step 1

Free Home Assessment

Ray comes to your home, walks through it, and makes recommendations. No cost, no obligation.

Step 2

Custom Proposal

We design a solution tailored to your family's needs and walk you through insurance coverage options.

Step 3

Professional Installation

Our background-checked crew handles everything — permits, installation, and cleanup.

Step 4

Ongoing Support

We're your long-term accessibility partner. As needs change, we adapt — or reverse modifications entirely.

Serving Every Family in The First State

Delaware is a small state with a big aging population. Nearly one in five Delaware residents is over the age of 65, and that number climbs every year. For families across all three counties, the question isn’t whether a loved one will need home modifications — it’s when.

Accessible Solutions was built for exactly this moment. We are the only company in Delaware that handles every stage of the aging-in-place journey under one roof. When your mother needs a grab bar installed in the bathroom today and a full bathroom conversion three years from now, you don’t need to find a new contractor. You call us.

Three Locations Covering All of Delaware

Our headquarters sits in a historic Victorian building at 37 South Main Street in Middletown — central to northern and central Delaware. Our Sussex County warehouse in Lewes serves the beach communities and southern Delaware. And our Atlantic County warehouse across the state line supports families in the Delaware-New Jersey corridor.

This three-warehouse footprint means our installation crews are never more than 45 minutes from any address in Delaware. When a hospital discharges your father on a Friday afternoon and he needs a ramp by Monday, we can make that happen because our equipment is staged locally.

Delaware-Specific Funding That Families Overlook

Many Delaware families don’t realize how much financial assistance exists for home accessibility work. The Delaware DSHP+ Medicaid waiver provides significant coverage for qualifying residents — covering ramps, bathroom modifications, and other structural changes. The lifetime cap covers significant work over time.

For veterans, the VA HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant provides additional funding for service-connected disabilities. Medicare covers durable medical equipment like hospital beds, wheelchairs, and power scooters. And for families paying out of pocket, we work with CareCredit and other medical lenders to provide financing options.

We handle all the paperwork. Every authorization form, every Medicaid submission, every insurance claim — our team manages the administrative burden so your family can focus on your loved one.

The Delaware Housing Stock Challenge

Delaware’s housing varies dramatically from north to south. In New Castle County, you’ll find older colonial and Cape Cod homes from the 1940s through 1970s — narrow hallways, small bathrooms with tubs, stairs to every bedroom. These homes weren’t built with accessibility in mind, but they’re where families have lived for decades and want to stay.

In Kent County around Dover, ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s are more common — single-story living that’s easier to modify. The challenge there is often bathroom access and exterior entry points.

Sussex County’s beach communities present their own set of issues. Raised foundations, exterior stairs, and elevated decks are standard construction near the coast. Families in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and Bethany Beach often need ramp solutions that account for saltwater corrosion and elevated entry points.

We’ve worked in all of these environments. Our installation crews understand the specific construction patterns in each part of the state, and we spec materials and solutions accordingly.

What We Do Across Delaware

Our full service menu includes modular and portable ramps (with rental options), bathtub-to-shower conversions, roll-in showers, tub cuts, grab bars and handrails throughout the home, stairlifts for straight and curved staircases, vertical platform lifts, ceiling-mounted patient lifts, door widenings, first-floor bedroom and bathroom additions, and durable medical equipment delivery and setup.

Every project starts the same way: Ray comes to your home, walks through it with your family, and recommends exactly what’s needed. No cost, no obligation, no pressure. From that assessment, we build a custom proposal that accounts for your family’s needs, your home’s construction, and every available funding source.

Licensed Contractor — Not Just an Installer

This distinction matters. Many accessibility companies are installers — they bolt products to walls and floors. We are a licensed general contractor in the state of Delaware. That means we pull permits, pour concrete, frame walls, run plumbing, and build bathrooms from the ground up when necessary.

When a family needs a first-floor bathroom addition because their mother can no longer climb stairs, most accessibility companies refer that project out. We handle it in-house. One company, one relationship, from the simplest grab bar to the most complex renovation.

Reversible Modifications for Changing Needs

One thing families rarely consider: what happens when the need changes? If a ramp is no longer necessary, we remove it and restore the entry. If a bathroom was converted for wheelchair access and the home is being sold, we can reverse the modifications. No other company in Delaware offers this level of ongoing partnership.

Your home stays yours. We adapt it to serve your family at every stage — and we undo those changes when the time comes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dover FAQs

Does Accessible Solutions serve all of Delaware?

Yes. We serve every community in Delaware from Claymont and Wilmington in the north through Dover and Middletown in the center to Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and Fenwick Island in the south. We operate warehouses in Middletown and Lewes, plus a third in the Atlantic City NJ area, giving our crews staged materials and rapid response times across all three Delaware counties.

What is the most common aging-in-place modification Delaware homeowners request?

Bathroom conversions are our most requested service statewide. Delaware homes from every era — Wilmington rowhomes, Dover ranches, Sussex County beach houses — share the same problem: standard bathtubs that become dangerous as residents age. We remove the tub and install barrier-free roll-in showers with grab bars, fold-down benches, and handheld showerheads. This single modification addresses the room where the majority of in-home falls occur.

How does the Delaware DSHP+ Medicaid program work for home modifications?

Delaware DSHP+ provides significant coverage for home accessibility modifications. The program covers ramps, bathroom conversions, grab bars, doorway widenings, and structural changes. We are a certified Medicaid provider and handle the entire process — documentation, managed care organization coordination, installation, and direct billing. Qualifying families pay nothing out of pocket.

What VA and senior programs are available to Delaware residents for home accessibility funding?

The Wilmington VA Medical Center administers HISA grants for veterans needing ramps and bathroom modifications. The Delaware Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities coordinates statewide senior programs. Each county has an Area Agency on Aging office that connects families with local resources. We help every family identify applicable programs and manage the paperwork for each one.

Does Accessible Solutions work with Delaware hospitals for discharge-related home modifications?

Yes. We coordinate with discharge planning teams at ChristianaCare, Beebe Healthcare, Bayhealth, Nemours, and St. Francis Hospital. When a patient is being discharged to a home that is not yet accessible, we prioritize scheduling to meet the medical timeline. Our two Delaware warehouses ensure materials are available for rapid installation anywhere in the state.

How long does a typical home modification project take in Delaware?

Timeline varies by scope. Grab bars install in a single visit. A modular ramp takes one to two days. A bathroom conversion runs three to five days depending on the home's construction. A comprehensive aging-in-place package — ramp, bathroom, grab bars, doorway widenings, and stairlift — typically completes within two to three weeks. Ray Petkevis provides exact timelines during every free in-home assessment.

What makes Accessible Solutions different from other home modification companies in Delaware?

We are the only company in Delaware that provides every category of aging-in-place service under one roof — ramps, bathroom conversions, grab bars, stairlifts, vertical platform lifts, door widenings, full home renovations, and durable medical equipment. Most competitors specialize in one category. We handle the entire scope so your family never coordinates between multiple contractors, and Ray Petkevis personally assesses every home.

How do I get started with a home accessibility project anywhere in Delaware?

Call Accessible Solutions to schedule a free in-home assessment. Ray Petkevis personally visits homes from Claymont to Fenwick Island, evaluating the property's construction, identifying every needed modification, and reviewing all funding options including Medicaid, VA benefits, and private-pay financing.
