Assistive Technology and Home Modifications
Simple changes and equipment can make your home safer, easier and more comfortable to live in.
What Is Assistive Technology?
Assistive technology includes tools, devices or equipment that help you stay independent — from shower chairs and walking frames to mobility scooters and alert systems.
Home Modifications
Sometimes a few small changes can make a big difference. Home modifications might include:- Installing handrails or ramps
- Widening doorways
- Improving lighting or flooring for safety
How to Access Them
Your Care Partner can help arrange an occupational therapist assessment to identify the right solutions for your home.
Funding may be available through Support at Home or other government programs.
