Larry Morton, a fellow of The American Board of Disability Analysts, founded Access Ability Now, Inc. with his son, Eric, a licensed General Contractor and a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, as a subsidiary of Prosthetic Orthotic Care Center. With over eighteen years of contracting and design/build experience, Larry recognized the need for specialized solutions in home modifications for the elderly and disabled. He felt the Charlotte-Metro area was ready for a new kind of company that would manage all elements of the design process in home modifications and Aging-in-Place services. "We envisioned a quality-focused firm that provides the client with all the answers and services they need from start to finish... all from one full-service company", said Eric Morton of Access Ability Now.
