At times, thousands of dollars are spent on home modifications that become quickly unusable. This can be particularly important as many people transition from walking independently to needing a walker or wheelchair. They sometimes find the expensive bathroom they have just had installed is too difficult and unsafe to use.
WHAT WE DO
1/ We assess you. We look at your abilities and any medical, age-related or functional issues you may have. We recommend home modifications that will work for you now and into the future as your needs may change.
2/ We assess your environment. This means we look at your home and make sure the modifications will work in the space you have.
3/ We then assess you in the environment together. This can be the most important step. This way we can customise where modifications need to go, so they suit you. We can help find contractors for you also, that are specialised in these types of modifications
