What is Access to Independence?

Ability1st assists individuals in obtaining durable medical equipment, incontinence products, and other supplies necessary to better manage their disability.  We also build ramps and steps, helping individuals with mobility challenges gain better access in and out of their homes. When individuals with disabilities are provided these critical services and feel empowered to live more independently, they can improve their quality of life. This is why we call the program Access to Independence.

How does it help?

The overall goals are to improve home accessibility of vulnerable adults with disabilities who are at risk of institutionalization and improve the overall mobility and self-care capacity of adults with physical disabilities. We not only positively impact our Consumers but their families as well.

Who is eligible?

Adults with disabilities residing in Leon, Wakulla, Madison, Taylor, or Gadsden counties may apply. Program funding is limited to serving individuals with low to moderate income.
