Housing Modifications
Your home is your sanctuary and a reflection of your personality. Whether you’ve lived there for 5 months, 5 years or 50 it is the centre of your routine. It was a place of joyful family gatherings and a place to recoup from the challenges of the outside world.
Yet a significant medical condition can suddenly make your home environment hostile, uncomfortable and miserable. Stairs become a sheer cliff face locking you into the home entirely, or to just a few rooms.
Your home is your sanctuary and a reflection of your personality. Whether you’ve lived there for 5 months, 5 years or 50 it is the centre of your routine. It was a place of joyful family gatherings and a place to recoup from the challenges of the outside world.
You have strange new additions of large, cumbersome equipment, strangers coming in (albeit they are lovely and there to help) and constant problems to solve.
You and your family are stuck in one of your favourite places unable to relax and utilise it as you once could and there is no end in sight. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you are unable to access government-funded housing modifications when you acquire an illness or disability it is still worth considering doing them privately.
Whole Support Services offers occupational therapy to help you transform your home back into the haven it was. Occupational Therapists are specialists in home modifications to change the environment to meet the needs of the person. We have a vast range of knowledge about products that can change your home and they don’t always involve a lot of money or major renovations.
Consider the benefits of having a home that meets your family’s needs. Isn’t it vital for maximising your independence? Won’t it improve your quality of life and make managing complex medical conditions and care long-term easier and safer? Surely it will assist ageing in place? Is it worth it to enjoy your home for longer and ensure that this crisis won’t take you out of it in a traumatic manner?
