Home Modification
As you age or recover from an injury, you might find certain features of your current home difficult to navigate. Maybe there are too many stairs, narrow doorways, switches in the wrong place, slippery floors, narrow access to bathrooms, or no support rails. This is where professional home modification services can help.
You don’t necessarily need to move to a new house, because many existing homes can be modified to suit your changing requirements. Home modifications can be a simple refurbishment, such as installing some handrails, or complex, such as a renovation that reconfigures the layout of the home. It all depends on what needs to be modified to allow you and your family to live independently.
How Revive Building Solutions can modify your home
Our home modification services enable you to remain independent, mobile and safe in your existing home for longer, or while recovering from major health issues and adapting to your new accessibility needs. Our services include a range of home modification designs and installations, from grab rails and handrails right through to converting bath hobs to walk-in shower cavities. We can redesign and modify any part of an existing home to make it more accessible for aged care residents or those in recovery. We offer both internal and external home modification services, including concrete ramps, chairlifts for stairways and more.
List of Services
-
RampsList Item 1
A ramp at the entrance to your home will make it more accessible if you have difficulty going up and down stairs or use a wheelchair. External and internal ramps can be built cost-effectively and be fixed or portable.
-
Stair LiftsList Item 2
Stairs are one of the biggest impediments to less-mobile people staying in their existing homes for longer. Installing a stair lift can relieve the stress and discomfort of having to climb the stairs.
-
Door WideningList Item 3
Most homes feature standard size doorways and do not allow for a wheelchair or other mobility devices to comfortably fit. In many cases, doorways can be widened to allow you to move more easily around your existing home.
-
KitchensList Item 4
Kitchen home modification can help in many ways, from re-ordering the kitchen cabinets to improving lighting, lowering benches, softening closers on cabinets and doors, widening access points and adding non-slip floor covering.
-
Bathrooms
Bathrooms can be difficult to navigate if you have limited mobility, but several things can help, such as rails, showerheads, lighting and non-slip areas.
-
Lighting & Switches
It’s important to consider good lighting, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. That may include relocating switches and power points, while also making them bigger.
-
Medical Alert System
Common in aged care facilities, medical alert systems can also be installed in private homes to provide peace of mind in emergencies.
