How can Family Care Australia help you with Home Modifications?
At Family Care Australia we can help NDIS participants with Home Modification through a detailed consultation with the client. An expert will get in touch with you to make a plan with you on the modification that you require. The costs could be covered with your NDIS plan, which will be discussed through this consultation.
Some Common Home Modifications are:
- Handheld Showers
- Grab rails
- Recreational – Dancing, arts & crafts, bowling etc.
- Handrails
- Threshold ramps
- Level shower access
According to NDIS we can help you with Home Modifications if it is included in your plan. NDIS will add home modifications in your plan if:
- due to the impact of your disability, you or your carers cannot reasonably access and use frequently used rooms and spaces in your primary residence;
- your primary residence, in its current condition, has significant and adverse impacts on the sustainability of current living and care arrangements; and
- a suitably qualified Occupational Therapist has performed an assessment and recommended home modifications, considering all possible alternatives, including the use of equipment.
