What are Home Modifications?
Home modifications should optimise your function and safety of your home without compromising aesthetic.
We will advise you on everything from:
- grab rail placement, access to your home, access within your home or if desired re designing or designing a new home to meet your current and future needs
- Modification of access to your home; installation of ramps, rails, steps and other solutions
- Bathroom modifications such as the removal of a bath to create a shower recess or a full bathroom re model
- Kitchen modifications that include changing shelving, bench and cupboard heights and using home technology to improve function
- Minor modifications including the installation of grab rails, widening doorways, changing tap-ware, fixtures and fittings
Safety
From grab rail placement, access to your home, or access within your home, we can help you modify or design a new home to meet your current and future needs.
Independence
Home modifications such as the removal of a bath to create a shower recess, kitchen modifications that include changing shelving, bench and cupboard heights and using home technology to improve function can all help improve your independence now and in the future.
Simplicity
Minor modifications including the installation of grab rails, widening doorways, changing tap-ware, fixtures and fittings that are non invasive, quick to install and can help meet your current and future needs.
Build your home for the future
Perth’s housing and community development plans are not designed to meet the needs of booming aged care and disability sectors. Home modifications can be expensive and intrusive so why not plan ahead and design homes and communities that will meet everyone’s needs now and in the future.
Optimal Therapy aims to promote equitable and dignified access for people of all ages and abilities through the promotion of universal design and livable housing in all our work. We will work with you on concept development, planning or modification of existing structures to ensure optimal access.
