Grab bar installers, walk-in tub companies, stairlift and ramp specialists, and whole-home remodelers serving Nashville and Davidson County.
11.8% of Nashville-Davidson residents are 65 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts. This page organizes publicly available provider information for businesses and organizations associated with Nashville, TN 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.
Review note: Nashville planning resources were reviewed July 25, 2026, and provider categories were reviewed July 20, 2026. Business status, service areas, and contact details can change; confirm current information with the provider and the original source.

Start with the person’s daily routine and the specific barriers in the home—not a product catalog. For bathroom or entry work, ask each provider for a written scope that covers wall blocking or anchors, slip resistance, clearances, drainage, warranties, and who is responsible for permits. For stairs or larger remodels, compare an equipment-only quote with a whole-home accessibility assessment.
First review the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors requirements, then look up the company or individual in the state’s license-verification search. Match the name, license type, status, and monetary limit to the written proposal rather than relying on a logo or verbal claim.
Before work begins, ask Metro Nashville Codes and Building Safety which building or trade permits and inspections apply. Metro states that an owner who occupies or intends to occupy a single-family residence, or a licensed contractor, may obtain a building permit. Put responsibility for applications, fees, inspections, and final sign-off in the contract. A CAPS designation reflects aging-in-place training; it does not replace a required license, insurance, or permit.
Start with the state’s services guide for older adults and adults with physical disabilities. It explains that programs such as OPTIONS for Community Living and other home- and community-based supports are delivered through Tennessee’s Area Agencies on Aging and Disability. Use the Department of Disability and Aging’s official information-and-assistance contacts to ask which agency serves Davidson County and what eligibility rules apply.
For accessible-housing questions, the state’s Housing Innovation program provides a current interest form for housing-related supports. This is a starting point, not a promise that a particular repair or modification will be funded. Confirm eligibility, scope, waitlists, and costs directly before making plans.
Prices vary with structure, product, labor, electrical or plumbing changes, permit needs, and finish work. Get at least two itemized estimates, verify insurance, ask for recent comparable references, and avoid paying the entire project cost before work is completed.
Official starting points: the FTC home-improvement scam guide, the federal Eldercare Locator, and the NAHB explanation of the CAPS credential.
There is no reliable one-price-fits-all estimate for local accessibility work. Cost changes with product specifications, structural conditions, electrical or plumbing work, permit requirements, and warranty coverage. Get at least three written, itemized proposals for larger projects and compare scope — not only the total. The national cost ranges below come from Angi and HomeAdvisor (2026).

The Tennessee Commission on Aging and Adult Services serves Davidson County and the surrounding region. Contact them at https://www.tn.gov/aging/ or call 615-741-2056 to ask about home modification programs, minor repair services, or grant-funded safety modifications for eligible seniors.
Other potential funding sources include the VA HISA grant for eligible veterans, Medicaid HCBS waivers for eligible beneficiaries, and the USDA Section 504 program for very-low-income rural homeowners. You can also call 211 to be connected with local social services and home repair programs.
Verify current eligibility and covered services directly with each program.
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.
