Welcome. I’m Linda.

I’m on a mission to make staying in your home as painless as possible, allowing seniors and individuals with disabilities to live safely, comfortably, and independently in the home they love.

The need for a safe and accessible home applies to everyone — not just the growing baby boomer demographic and general population of elderly, homebound, physically and mentally challenged individuals, patients recovering from recent surgeries, injuries or other health issues.

Your specific needs will be addressed completely in your home assessment. Get started with your free 30-minute telephone consultation and follow-up in-home analysis so we can create your action plan for safer living. 

My Story

What is Aging in Place and why does it matter?

​The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention define aging in place as “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.” When preparing yourself or a loved one to age in place, it’s important to consider whether your or their current home is set up to ensure the safety, independence, and comfort of senior residents.

Failing to properly account for how the home environment might need modification to allow for aging in place can lead to not only discomfort but also injuries, illness, and even death, according to the AARP. As a result, it’s crucial to plan ahead and consider a range of factors when making the decision to age in place.

If you think you or someone you love is ready to age in place, ask yourself these questions.

Let’s Talk about Living In Place.

While people are living longer and electing to stay in their homes, this is still only around 20% of the population. There is another large group of people who can benefit from Living in Place measures. Our goal is to make all homes accessible for everyone.

One of the core principles of Living In Place is a safe home for everyone. Our goal is to create an accessible and efficient environment for people of all abilities, including those with memory or cognitive issues.

Even small changes can add up to a very safe, comfortable, and attractive home. Living In Place is more than just fall protection or ramps. We will access your abilities, your space, and your goals and find the right solution for you.

Kind Words From Happy Clients

  • Linda Pollock is a true professional. Thorough, reliable and cost-effective. She helped me make sure our family’s home met some challenging code requirements in time for a sale. I was out of state and never once worried about the quality of her work or my ability to stay on top of details. She is gifted and I would hire her for any and every home repair need.

    — Lisa G., New York

  • Our house was new and we had never had a leak. I called Linda right away and within minutes she was there, discovered the ice damming problem, and went up on our roof knocking off the ice and spreading salt. Not only did they identify the problem immediately, but they followed up and took care of it while we were on vacation. We didn’t have to worry for a minute. That is priceless!

    — Noelle F., Demarest NJ

  • We have now been working with Linda for more than 2 years, and it has been the most wonderful experience working with your team. We cannot say enough about the work you have done, and how well our home is taken care of by you and your staff. Not having to worry about the daily details makes our free time more valuable, and we can spend it doing other things.

    — Sam P., Demarest NJ

  • We are so thrilled with our new basement! They were a pleasure to work with and helped create a beautiful space that fits our family’s needs and lifestyle, as well as complements the rest of our home. We truly appreciated the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that everyone brought to our project. The team was very dedicated, easy to collaborate with, and responsive to our input and ideas.

    — Pam C., Tenafly NJ

  • Linda’s help was invaluable as we moved into our new house. She did an assessment that pointed out several areas where we needed modifications, grab bars and railings. She helped in selecting options and styles and her team quickly did a professional job of installation. Several months later we decided to upgrade a bathroom by widening the door, removing a step up tub and installing a walk-in shower. The work was done quickly with minimum disruption and her team kept to the schedule. The craftsmanship of their work is excellent resulting in a very new functional space.
