What Our Participants Say
"I was struggling with vacuuming due to my back problems. Bridges Care helped me find a lightweight robot vacuum that I can schedule from my phone. They also recommended a long-handled duster and a reacher tool for high shelves. These simple products have made such a huge difference! I can keep my home clean without pain, and I didn't even know these solutions existed before they assessed my home."
