Rehab and Mobility Systems is known for its “ service beyond expectations .” They are always looking to fulfill the needs of their clients . Serving the catastrophically injured , the disabled , mobilitychallenged and aging clients is of primary importance and their reason for existence .
Adaptive Modification Solutions ( AMS ) was born a year-and-a-half ago because of these needs and is a complimentary company to Rehab and Mobility Systems . Continuing to look at filling client needs , AMS opened the doors to its new showroom at 11395 North Saginaw Road in Clio , Michigan , on April 1 , 2016 . The showroom is a one-stop shop for cash paying customers and walk-ins as well as offering needed construction modifications through No-Fault and Workman ’ s Comp . They have much to offer to the community and to the state of Michigan .

There are several CAPS ( certified aging-in-place specialists ) employees on site . “ Aging in place ” is a term that has recently been adopted in the health care community .
