Home Modifications

JOY OURS provides experienced home modification services to help people continue living safely and independently in their own homes. These modifications may involve adding assistive equipment to the home or making structural changes to improve safety and accessibility.

Recommendations are usually based on a comprehensive assessment by an Occupational Therapist. Modifications can range from simple additions such as grab rails, handrails, lever taps, and step wedges to more complex changes, including fixed wheelchair ramps and widened doorways.

Our installers work closely with healthcare professionals and private clients to achieve high-quality results. JOY OURS can also arrange expert installation of the equipment and modifications needed to make the home safer, more secure, and better suited to mobility needs.

Considerations for Home Modifications

Adaptability

Many modifications can be made quickly and effectively without the need for major redesign. Examples include installing grab rails in bathrooms and modifying under-sink cabinetry to allow wheelchair access.

Accessibility

Improving accessibility may involve widening doorways, creating clear pathways for wheelchair use, lowering kitchen benchtops, sinks, and cabinets, and installing ramps and grab rails.
