• Safety assessment
• Bathroom Upgrade
• Accessibility improvements

Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis, Mrs Yagle struggles with the everyday chores of keeping a home and herself safe. She has family doing all they can every day to support her but repairs and disability upgrades were needed throughout the house. The Rebuilding Together team concentrated on the safety concerns and on making her day-to-day living a bit easier.

With a highly skilled work team and generous donors, RTLB replaced the bathroom tub and shower with a handicap accessible installation. This allowed her more accessibility to the bathtub and she no longer relies on the sponge baths she had become used to.

Mrs Yagel is not alone or unique. Depending on the kindness of family and programs like Independence at Home, many who suffer like Mrs Yagle can get help by calling Rebuilding Together Long Beach and completing an application.
