This page organizes publicly available provider information for businesses and organizations associated with Wilmington, NC and the surrounding area. Categories include home modifications, accessibility equipment, home care, transportation, community programs, and elder-law services.
Treat each listing as a research lead, not an endorsement or proof of current service area. Before sharing personal information or paying a deposit, confirm that the provider serves your address and verify current contact details, required credentials, insurance, permits, written scope, and complaint history.
Filter by the type of work you need. Listings show available public contact details; some fields may be missing or change over time.
How this directory works: Basic listings are compiled from public business information and provider submissions. Inclusion is not an endorsement or proof of licensing, insurance, or certification. Review our listing methodology and independently verify a provider before hiring.

Tell us what you need. We will review the request and may share it with relevant local providers for follow-up. Submitting a request does not guarantee a provider match, estimate, or response time.
Ask for an in-home measurement, the lift’s weight limit, battery behavior during an outage, warranty terms, maintenance response time, and a written price that separates equipment from installation. If you are comparing a used or rental unit, confirm which parts and labor are covered and whether the rail is fitted to the specific staircase.
For a straightforward installation, start with a residential accessibility or home-modification contractor, or a handyman who can document experience mounting grab bars in the same wall material found in your bathroom. If the job requires opening a tiled wall, adding structural backing, moving plumbing, or repairing waterproofing, ask who will coordinate the remodeler and any licensed trade required for that work. An occupational therapist can help identify placement based on how a person enters, exits, sits, stands, or transfers, but assessment and installation may be separate services.
Before requesting an estimate, use the nonprofit AARP HomeFit Guide to walk through the bathroom and note the locations you want assessed. Then ask each installer to explain:
A product label or directory category does not prove that an installation is suitable. Compare a written scope and recent examples of similar bathroom work. The Federal Trade Commission’s home-improvement guide explains how to research contractors, compare estimates, and document the agreement.
For projects that fall under state contractor requirements, use the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors’ public license search and match the displayed name and status to the written proposal. The Cape Fear Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging serves New Hanover County and provides regional aging-resource information. New Hanover County’s Adult Enhancement Services publishes local programs and contact information. These agencies are starting points, not proof that a listed installer is qualified or that financial assistance is available; confirm eligibility and current terms directly.
Request itemized estimates, current insurance information, recent comparable references, permit responsibility where applicable, and both product and installation warranties. Do not rely on a directory rating alone when making a safety-related hiring decision.
Official starting points: the FTC home-improvement scam guide, the federal Eldercare Locator, and the NAHB explanation of the CAPS credential.
Confirm that the business serves your address and has completed comparable accessibility work. Check required state or local licenses, registrations, insurance, permits, recent references, written warranty terms, and complaint information with the appropriate public authority. A directory listing or online rating is not a substitute for those checks.
Ask how the installer will identify framing or approved backing, choose fasteners for the wall assembly, protect waterproofing, confirm placement for the user, and handle repairs. Timing depends on the number of bars, wall construction, access, and whether blocking or finish work is required.
Compare transfer method, standing and seated use, caregiver access, fill and drain time, slip resistance, door clearance, waterproofing, plumbing capacity, maintenance, and emergency exit. The right choice depends on the user and the room; consider an occupational-therapy assessment when mobility needs are complex.
