How it works

  1. Call or text us. Tell us what changed and when they're coming home.
  2. We match you with a licensed installer. A vetted contractor measures, checks walls and slopes, and leaves a written quote.
  3. Installed within days. Most grab bars and ramps in one visit. Your installer handles any San Francisco permit.

Who we work with

Families

You're often arranging this from a hospital hallway. Send us a photo of the steps or bathroom and we'll tell you what's realistic before you commit to anything.

Discharge planners and OT/PTs

We prioritize discharge cases and coordinate with your home-safety assessment. One number to call, a written confirmation within hours.

Veterans and grant recipients

Familiar with VA HISA grants, Medi-Cal HCBS and long-term-care insurance reimbursement. We'll get you the paperwork you need.

Questions families ask

Do we need a permit in San Francisco?

Grab bars, handrails on existing stairs and threshold ramps usually don't. Permanent exterior ramps, platform lifts and door widening in bearing walls usually do. Your installer pulls it and includes it in the quote.

How fast can it really be installed?

Grab bars and portable or threshold ramps: often within 48 hours. Modular ramps and straight stair lifts: typically within a week. Curved stair lifts need a custom rail and take 2–4 weeks.

Will a ramp fit on a San Francisco stoop?

Often yes with a switchback platform. When the rise is too high for the lot, a vertical platform lift takes about a 5×5 ft footprint.

Who does the work?

Safely Home SF is an independent referral service — we don't do the work ourselves. We match you with a separately licensed, insured installer who performs the job. We stay your point of contact from first call to completion.

How do we pay?

Deposit on signing, balance on completion. Most installers accept card, check and long-term-care or VA reimbursement paperwork.
