Stairlifts & Platform Lifts

Stairs are a major cause of falls which have a terrible impact on confidence as well as health. Timely fitting of a stairlifts or platform lifts provide an opportunity for you to be mobile and independent for longer.

Accessible Kitchens

Kitchens are the heart of the home and should be a comfortable space for all. We ensure that kitchens are designed with mobility in mind; that there is sufficient space for wheelchair use, and that the height of work surfaces meet all of the family’s needs. Appliances should be accessible and user friendly.

Central Heating

We know the importance of effective heating and efficient hot water systems. A warm and well insulated home helps to protect your health and well being.

Improving Access/Egress

Physical challenges to leaving home can be a catalyst for becoming socially isolated. It is paramount that you can enter and exit safely. Many hazards can be overcome by installing handrails in key areas, widening doorways, graded pathways and/or access ramps suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Moving around your home should be safe and simple. From bed to chair, to bathroom or into wheelchair; ceiling track hoists provide support, adaptable to a variety of environments without risk of injury.

Sensory rooms combine a range of stimuli to provide a unique sensory experience. For children with developmental disabilities or learning difficulties, a sensory room provides safe space to enjoy.

Well designed outdoor spaces can offer children the opportunity to have therapeutic fun and enjoy life in a safe and accepting environment. We can address a variety of sensory impairments with our purpose-built play areas which help a child’s development and build their confidence.
