A home that works
at every age.
Planned for the life ahead of you.
Most people would rather stay in their own home as they get older. The house usually needs a few changes to make that safe: a shower you can step into, something solid to hold onto, a bedroom on the floor you spend your day on.
Some families plan these changes years in advance. Others need them quickly, after a fall, a surgery, or a new diagnosis. We work with both, and we keep the process calm and clear either way.
- Planning ahead. Homeowners in their 60s and 70s building in support before they need it.
- A parent moving in. Families adapting a main floor or creating an in-law suite for a parent.
- A change in mobility. Recovery from surgery or injury, or a new walker or wheelchair.
- Caregivers. Adult children arranging work on behalf of a parent who lives nearby.
Accessibility renovations.
Three areas make the biggest difference to living safely at home. We can take on one of them or plan all three together, so the work happens once and in the right order.
Bathroom Accessibility
The bathroom is where most falls at home happen. We rebuild it around safe, independent use, with finishes that suit the rest of your home.
- Curbless and low-threshold walk-in showers with linear drains
- Bathtub-to-shower conversions
- Grab bars anchored into solid blocking in the wall
- Comfort-height toilets and handheld shower systems
- Built-in shower benches and slip-resistant tile
- Wall-mounted vanities with knee clearance
Entry & Mobility
Getting into the house and moving through it should take no extra effort. We remove steps, open up tight spots, and add support where it is needed.
- Ramps and step-free front and side entries
- Widened doorways for walkers and wheelchairs
- Pocket doors and lever-style handles
- Continuous railings on both sides of stairs
- Stairlift preparation, including structure and power
- Brighter lighting on stairs, halls, and entries
Main-Floor Living
When stairs become difficult, the main floor needs to hold everything. We rework the layout so daily life happens on one level.
- Converting a den, office, or dining room into a bedroom
- Adding a main-floor bathroom or accessible ensuite
- Moving laundry up from the basement
- Kitchen adjustments: lower counters, pull-out storage, easy-grip hardware
- In-law suites for a parent moving in
Safe, comfortable, and still home.
An accessible home should look like a well-designed home. We plan each feature to fit the house, the household, and the years ahead.
Matched to your home
Grab bars, rails, and fixtures selected to suit your existing finishes, so the room reads as one design.
Ready for later
We add blocking in the walls and plan clearances during any renovation, so future grab bars or a stairlift become a small job.
Phased around you
Work is sequenced so the household keeps a working bathroom and a clear path through the house throughout the build.
Guided by care advice
If an occupational therapist has assessed the home, we build from their recommendations on heights, clearances, and transfers.
Tax credits and funding.
Several government programs help with the cost of accessibility work. These are the ones our clients ask about most.
Home Accessibility Tax Credit
A non-refundable credit on up to $20,000 of eligible renovation expenses per year. It applies to homeowners aged 65 or older, people eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, and family members supporting them. Eligible work includes items like walk-in showers, grab bars, ramps, and wider doorways.
Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit
A refundable credit on up to $50,000 of eligible expenses to create a self-contained secondary unit, such as an in-law suite, for a relative aged 65 or older or an adult eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.
Local accessibility programs
Some Ontario regions offer grants or forgivable loans for accessibility modifications to eligible lower-income seniors and people with disabilities. These programs usually require approval before any work starts, so ask about them before you book a start date.
Eligibility rules are set by the Canada Revenue Agency and program administrators, and they change from year to year. Confirm with your accountant what applies to your situation. We provide detailed, itemized invoices to support a claim.
