On July 16th the application period opens for the Bathroom Fall Prevention Grant Program in Palmetto Bay, an effort to assist adult seniors in our community with the purchase and installation of grab bars for their home bathrooms.
The Village of Palmetto Bay’s Bathroom Fall Prevention Grant Pilot Program is available to assist seniors with bathroom safety. The reimbursement safety grant is designed to help seniors defray the costs for grab bars that eliminate, reduce or control their danger of falling. Grant funds must be used (1) for the purchase of bathroom grab bars, and (2) for installation by a county or state licensed contractor. Up to $500 will be awarded to 20 eligible seniors.
