Transforming an Aged Care Home in Burwood, Victoria
Client: Aged Care Provider – Burwood, VIC
Project Duration: ~2 weeks (staged)
Services Delivered: Flooring, Carpet, Bathroom Renovation, Roof Repairs
Background
An aged care provider contacted Aussie Home and Floor to renovate a home for one of their clients in Burwood, Victoria. The property was functional but dated, and the client needed safer, more accessible living spaces to improve daily comfort and reduce risks of slips, trips, and falls.
The provider wanted a reliable partner who could manage multiple renovation elements under one roof—flooring, bathroom, and essential repairs—while ensuring minimal disruption to the client.
Challenges
- Accessibility & Safety: The bathroom had a step-up shower and outdated fixtures that posed risks for elderly use.
- Worn Flooring: The existing floors were uneven and difficult to maintain, making mobility aids harder to use.
- Comfort & Aesthetics: Bedrooms lacked warmth, and the overall home felt tired.
- Time Sensitivity: The project needed to be staged carefully so the client could remain comfortable during works.
- Logistics: Furniture had to be carefully moved and stored during each stage.
Our Approach & Solutions
1. Flooring Upgrade
- Installed hybrid flooring in common areas, combining durability, slip resistance, and easy maintenance.
- Carpeted bedrooms with soft, low-pile carpet for warmth, comfort, and ease of cleaning.
- Completed the flooring works in just 2 days to minimise disruption.
2. Bathroom Renovation
- Removed the old step-up shower and created a walk-in shower with a linear drain, ensuring level access.
- Laid slip-resistant tiles throughout for safety.
- Installed grab rails and support handles to improve mobility and reduce fall risks.
- Repositioned fixtures to maximise space and functionality.
- Renovation completed in 10 days, staged to allow essential access during the process.
3. Roof Repairs
- Carried out targeted roof repairs to fix leaks and extend the roof’s lifespan.
- Ensured the property was fully weatherproofed, protecting the client’s living environment.
- Work completed in 2 days with minimal disturbance.
4. Project Management & Logistics
- Provided a full-service solution: demolition, material selection, installation, and clean-up.
- Assisted with furniture relocation, ensuring the home remained liveable throughout.
- Used 3D planning and visuals to help the aged care provider and client preview the new design before work began.
Results
- Safer Living: The client now enjoys a bathroom tailored for accessibility, reducing everyday risks.
- Modern Look & Feel: The combination of hybrid flooring and new carpeting refreshed the home’s interior, adding both style and function.
