Jackson County is rural southern Ohio (Jackson, Wellston, Oak Hill) and home to a number of former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant workers who commuted up to Piketon during the plant’s operating years. HHS handles the construction side of EEOICPA-approved home modifications across the county. We work in partnership with Nuclear Worker Solutions, who handles the medical assessment, EEOICPA eligibility, and program coordination. You qualify with them; we build with you. Call (740) 357-9020 to talk through a project.
Why Jackson County EEOICPA Work Looks Different
Jackson County homes tend to be on larger rural lots than Scioto or Ross County properties. That changes the accessibility scope. Exterior ramps can be longer with gentler grade (which is friendlier for wheelchair use), parking and approach areas often need work as part of the project, and outbuildings sometimes need accessibility too if they’re part of how the homeowner lives. Most Jackson County homes are 1-story ranches or modest farmhouses, which makes interior accessibility work straightforward: no chair lift needed.
What EEOICPA Covers in Jackson County
EEOICPA covers home modifications recommended by your treating physician to help you manage your occupational illness and stay independent at home. No homebound requirement: you don’t have to be unable to leave the house to qualify. The program is designed to help nuclear workers stay healthy and active longer.

Bathroom accessibility: walk-in tubs, curbless showers, grab bars in framing, comfort-height toilets, slip-resistant tile. Most common modification.
