Transforming homes for enhanced accessibility, safety, and independence.

Home modifications involve adapting physical spaces to enhance accessibility, safety, and independence, facilitating individuals' daily activities within their homes.

We support NDIS_2020

Common home modifications we work with

Entrance and exit points

Installation of ramps, handrails, and automated door openers to enhance home accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges.

Bathroom

Installation of grab rails, shower seats, and handheld showerheads for safety and convenience. We also provide complex modifications for enhanced accessibility and mobility support.

Kitchen

Lower countertops, pull-out shelves, or lever-handle faucets to facilitate ease of reach and use. Additionally, adaptive cooking utensils and appliances can be integrated to enable individuals to prepare meals independently.

Outdoors

Installation of rails, ramps or stairlifts to navigate outdoor stairs, creating accessible pathways or gardens, and ensuring proper lighting and signage for improved visibility and safety.

Technology integration

Installation of smart home features such as voice-controlled lighting and falls detection systems to enhance your safety at home.

Custom modifications

Sensory modification points like developing designated areas within the home with sensory-friendly features, such as soft lighting, calming colours, and comfortable seating, to provide a soothing environment for individuals with sensory processing disorders or autism spectrum disorders.

How it works

Functional capacity assessments

Our process starts with a Functional Capacity Assessment where we learn about your situation and evaluate your ability to perform daily tasks. We then use this information to identify home modifications solutions that are personalised to you and help you achieve your goals.
