Tucker’s House makes the challenging task of home accessibility less stressful.
Our programs serve families, regardless of income level, because we understand there are unique challenges when caring for an individual with disabilities. Here is how our process works:
1. Submit an Inquiry Form
To get started, please submit an inquiry form, which can be found on our Apply page or by clicking apply now below. Please contact our team at [email protected] or 615-310-5224 with any questions.
2. Financial Assistance Assessment
Every Financial Assistance Application is reviewed by our Financial Committee according to established financial guidelines to determine if financial assistance will be provided. If your family qualifies for full financial assistance the costs of the home renovation are 100% covered by Tucker’s House.
If a family does not qualify for financial assistance, we provide fee-based consulting services and the costs associated with the project are the responsibility of the family. All proceeds go toward serving families in need.
3. Home Assessment
Once your application has been approved, we will schedule and conduct a Home Assessment. The assessment team will consist of a therapist, an architectural designer, and a builder. Together, they will complete an assessment of your home and write up an assessment report with specific recommendations for your family.
4. Home Modification Plan
The team will create an individualized design plan and scope of work with your family. You will sign terms of engagement and a budget agreement (depending on your financial qualification) for the project to begin.
5. Construction, Retrofitting, & Adaptive Equipment Installation
Once your project is approved, then work will begin to modify or retrofit your home. Our Program Manager will oversee all the modifications being made to your home. Qualified, licensed, and insured Contractors/Builders will be used for all work on your home.
A therapist also oversees every phase of adaptive equipment selection, installation, and training.
6. Post-Project Follow-up
You will have a follow-up with our therapists & Program Manager to check on all the home modifications. You will also receive training on any new adaptive equipment that is placed in your home.
