The setup can really cost you about $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Glendale. Occasionally the expense of the unit as well as the installment is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 2

2) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Arizona?

In case your disability was a result of a work or vehicle accident, check together with the correct insurance insurance company to find out if house modifications resulting from your AZ handicap are insured. Claims that contain Glendale home alterations are not inadmissible in insurance resolutions. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was insured by Social Security and have a medical condition which meets their definition of impairment. Benefits may be covered in case you're injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based plan as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The money that's set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational goal and can be used to cover house modifications through an SSI savings strategy. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that will help you deflect some of the price. Contact the form 26-4555 to submit an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in Arizona call 1 800 827 1000.

Consumer Affairs implies that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to determine whether the equipment may be somewhat compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. But if you're qualified for Medicaid, your state's program may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk-in bath.
