Accessible Living at its Best
Accesshomes.com.au is a new website that works in partnership with major residential developers to showcase an extensive range of homes and apartments that are either fully accessible or that can be easily adapted to become so.
Each featured accessible home will be for sale, direct to the public.
The Access Homes launch covers accessible homes and apartments in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region, before rolling out across Australia’s capital cities in the near future.
Our accessible apartments and houses have many advantages:
- Keeping people in their cherished & familiar communities
- Allowing flexibility and easy connection with family and friends
- Allowing people to keep social connections built over decades
- Allowing people to live in neighbourhoods with close access that allows participation in local community activities
What is an accessible home?
The accessible housing and apartments featured on Access Homes are residential dwellings with a twist - the architects have deliberately designed the layout with ageing and mobility issues in mind:
- The doorways and corridors are wider
- The bathroom, bedroom & laundry have greater circulation areas
- The kitchen can be easily adaptable for greater circulation area
- The garage or car bay is wider
Home Modifications:
Access Homes also offers a Home Modifications service that allows people to remain in the comfort of their homes longer. Access Homes can design and modify or adapt existing homes for better ease of access to enhance your quality of living.
We can improve your ease of access by installing:
- wider doorways, lowering windows
- mechanical lifts, structural change
- assistive technology
- ramps
- kitchen modifications involving bench-tops, cook-top, sinks & ovens
- bathroom renovations involving shower, accessible pan, basin & grab-rails
- electrical devices, lighting, switches & outlets,
- floors, hallways, stairs and steps
Access Homes’ Home Modification service offers Occupational Therapist Consultants who will perform an initial home assessment to identify the modifications required and conduct post assessment of the building works.
The Future Is Accessible
Whether you're a prospective retiree, a person or family living with a disability, or someone who wants to position themselves in comfort for long-term housing, you can now select properties off-the-plan which and built for accessible use with Accesshomes.com.au
Whether buying or modifying your home, Access Homes frees people to remain in their local communities rather than relocating to out-of-town residential care or retirement-village settings.
The future of retirement and accessible living is clear: no longer will seniors or people with mobility issues be pushed toward to the city fringes or distant regional areas, alienated from the suburbs they know and love, their families and support networks.
