Home modifications for the elderly range from minor to major works, and there are multiple organisations across Australia that specialise in providing the elderly with Assistive Technologies and home maintenance programs. For more comprehensive information, check out Independent Living Centres Australia, Home Modifications Australia or your State Government site.
Here are a few of the best home Assistive Technologies that are currently on the market.
Ramps
When wheelchair-bound, everyday home activities can become challenging. Adding ramps to create access to the front porch or kitchen will make life much easier, as well as improve quality of life.
Automatic Door Openers
Struggling with weakened muscles means opening a door can require some work, and in some cases, strain. An automatic door opener allows for seamless entry and exit.
Handrails
Whether they’re used for the bathroom or along the hallway, that extra bit of support can go a long way. Handrails can help your relatives get the assistance they need in a subtle, dignified way, as well as maintain independence.
Stair Lifts
Available in a range of style to suit all types of staircases (as well as interior and exterior applications), the stair lift is an excellent way to move between levels of the home without the risk of falls.
