Aged-Care Bathroom Modifications in South-East Melbourne: A Complete Guide for Care Managers
Learn how to create safer, accessible bathrooms with aged care bathroom modifications in South-East Melbourne. Discover hob-free showers, non-slip flooring, grab rails, and more — trusted by HCP, CHSP & NDIS providers.
Introduction:
Across South-East Melbourne, bathrooms are one of the most common sites for slips, trips, and falls among seniors. Narrow entries, high shower hobs, and slippery tiles make daily routines stressful and unsafe. For care managers and occupational therapists, finding a reliable partner who can deliver safe, funding-aligned modifications is essential.
At Aussie Home & Floor, we believe every client deserves dignity, safety, and independence at home. With over 16 years of experience, licensed trades, and full insurance coverage, we provide bathroom modifications that not only reduce risk but also restore confidence and comfort.
What Makes a Bathroom Safe for Seniors?
- Hob-free showers for easy access and wheelchair compatibility.
- Non-slip flooring (vinyl or textured tiles) to prevent accidents.
- Grab rails near toilets and showers for safe transfers.
- Comfort-height toilets to support seniors with limited mobility.
- Wider doorways & lever handles for easier entry.
- Better lighting & contrast so edges and surfaces are clearly visible.
