Overview:

Enhancing home safety, this NDIS support item addresses slip hazards and mobility challenges within a participant's living environment.

Service Details:

The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding for the application of slip-resistant coatings and the installation of grab and guide rails in and around the home. These modifications are tailored to the unique needs of each participant, ensuring bathrooms, kitchens, and other high-risk areas are equipped to prevent falls and facilitate safe movement.

Participant Outcomes:

Participants enjoy a heightened sense of independence, as the physical modifications reduce the reliance on carers for navigation within the home. By mitigating slip and fall risks, confidence in performing daily tasks grows, leading to increased overall well-being and the preservation of dignity in personal care routines.

Impact Statement:

This support item significantly enhances safety, promoting autonomy and reducing injury risk for people with mobility limitations.
