NDIS Bathroom Modifications
we know ndis
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides financial support to people who are living with a disability, under the age of 65. The scheme provides housing and health support, access to better community services, and assistance with home modifications.
There is a specific set of guidelines for those requiring home modifications through a company such as Waterfall Bathrooms. When it comes to using your NDIS funding, you can use it on what is available on your plan, so if you need home modifications, whether small or significant changes, they must be approved in your plan to be paid for by NDIS funding.
Home modifications may be included in your plan if:
You or your carers cannot access or use spaces in your primary home (not holiday home etc.)
Your home, in its current condition, doesn’t allow you to live comfortably or access efficient care.
A qualified Occupational Therapist has assessed the home and suggests the need for modifications, even after considering all other options, including equipment.
Modifications may include installing handrails and other mobility aids, hand-held showers, adapted toilets, installation of easy-to-use tapware, a bath with non-slip mats, grab rails etc, the addition of slip resistant surfaces, the widening of doorways and changing of doors, adjusting bench height, moving powerpoints and light switches, installation of platforms or hoists etc.
