Home Modifications

Building a new home or modifying an existing home is a potentially daunting task. For people with a disability this process may be complicated by the need to ensure that maximal independence is achieved.

The CP Tech team is able to give you important information and ideas for:

• Modifying your home
• Moving to a different home
• Building a new home

Ideas

 Some examples of modifications include:

• Making doorways wider, or re-swinging doors for easier access
• Providing ramps to entrances where steps are difficult to use
• Making bathrooms easier and safer to use by removing the shower hob and screen, removing the bath so that there is more space for showering, providing a hand held shower, or installing grab rails if needed.

Funding assistance may be available through the Community Aids and Equipment Program (CAEP) for home modifications that are seen as being basic and essential for safety and independence in the home. Funding approval must be granted prior to the commencement of any works.
