Home Modifications
Home modifications are changes to the structure, layout or fittings of a participant’s home that enable them to safely access and comfortably navigate areas they frequently use.
Home Modifications
Home modifications may be included in your plan if:
- Due to the impact of your disability, you or your carers cannot reasonably access and use frequently used rooms and spaces in your primary residence;
- Your primary residence, in its current condition, has significant and adverse impacts on the sustainability of current living and care arrangements; and
- A suitably qualified Occupational Therapist has performed an assessment and recommended home modifications, considering all possible alternatives, including the use of equipment
As with any building work, there are laws and regulations that need to be adhered to when undertaking home modifications under the Scheme.
How can we help?
Blue Wing can help alleviate anxieties by making modifications to your home that allow you to continue living in it, with independence and safety. Modifications may include handrails, widened doorways and installation of ramps, as well as bathroom and kitchen alterations.
Our home modifications make your home safer, easier to move around and better suited to your current and future abilities. We can help install assistive technologies such as standing tables or automatic door openers. A home assessment can help identify areas to modify or improve your home, and from there we can tailor our service to suit your needs.
These options include:
- Subsidised modifications
- Ramps, mobility aids and handrail installation
- Bathroom modifications
- Doorway widening
