Adaptive Spaces

Stay safe and independent in the home you love.

Adaptive Spaces builds accessibility and aging-in-place changes, plus sensory rooms, for homes in the Fargo-Moorhead area and Minnesota lakes country. Every project is built from an occupational therapist's recommendation, so the changes fit the person who lives there.

How it works

  1. Get a recommendation

    An occupational therapist looks at how daily routines go at home and writes up what will help. Use your own therapist, one through your county or case manager, or Adaptive Life Therapy.

  2. Estimate and scope

    We visit, measure and give you a clear written estimate based on the therapist's recommendation.

  3. The build

    A licensed contractor does the work, built to the recommendation and checked against it.

  4. Follow-up

    We check that the changes work in real life and fine-tune if needed. Your therapist is welcome to take a look too.

Built around the person

Most remodels start with the house. Ours start with a therapist's recommendation about the person: how they move, what is getting harder, and what they want to keep doing. Need a therapist? Ask your case manager, or contact Adaptive Life Therapy.
