Includes internal and external grab rails and hand rails to access points of residence.

Does not include rails for pools or spas.

Rails on verandas and balustrades should be referred to DVA as they may have building code ramifications.

Functional and Home Assessment should include:

  • assessment of functional mobility and consideration of other options, such as appropriate gait aid or more specific therapy program;
  • functional mobility within the home and the need for rail support as well as the type of rail required; and
  • assessment of location for rails and associated measurements and diagrams for installation.
