At My Garden Therapy, our mission is to empower independence through expert care. We support safer, more accessible homes and gardens across Geelong to improve everyday wellbeing. Much like a well-designed garden, a bathroom should be a place of comfort, not a source of stress or hazard.
Practical Steps for a Safer Bathroom
Creating a secure space involves simple yet effective modifications that promote autonomy. Here are a few ways to enhance safety:
- Install Sturdy Grab Rails: Grab rails near the toilet and shower provide vital support for balance and safer transitions.
- Non-Slip Flooring: To reduce the risk of falls in wet areas, use non-slip mats to ensure every step is secure.
- Improved Accessibility: Ensure the space is well-lit and free of clutter, allowing for a clear path for those using mobility aids.
- Handyman Maintenance: Our team can assist with small home repairs, such as fixing leaky taps or securing loose fixtures, to keep your home running smoothly.
Accessing Professional Support
We specialise in tailored services for older adults and people with disabilities, making it easier for you to stay connected to the home you love. Many residents across the Victorian region can access our maintenance support through available home care funding options.
