Environmental Modifications
Your Independence recognises the importance of being able to access your environment following illness or injury. Often this requires modification of the environment to enable you to achieve independent functioning. We also recognise that your home is one of your most expensive and precious assets and you want to get things right for you and your family. Because each person and their home is different we need to work individually to achieve a solution which works for you. This will often involve discussion with you about the many different options available. We work collaboratively with you and the builder to come up with the right solution for you.
We understand that the modification not only needs to work for you, but also needs to look good, most people want their home to look like "a home", not a hospital.
Your Independence has undertaken assessments for modification of homes, schools and workplaces and has completed funding submissions for the following funding bodies: HACC, Lifetime Care and Support, CTP, Workcover NSW, TAC, DVA, Housing NSW and Community Housing and the NDIS.
We have undertaken modifications from simple grab rails to ramps and bathroom renovations, kitchen redesign and complex access solutions such as stair lifts and multi level lifts.
