Safer at home
Comfortable, and still feels like home. RightKind Home Access helps families across Toronto and the GTA make the changes that let a parent stay safely at home: grab bars, ramps, safer bathrooms and more.
Changes that help lower the risk of a fall
Small changes often make the biggest difference. We start with what your parent finds hardest.
- Grab bars and handrails, in the bathroom, by the bed and on the stairs
- Ramps and safer entrances
- Door widening for a walker or wheelchair
- Bathroom safety: walk-in showers, raised toilets, handheld showers and non-slip floors
- Small fixes: brighter lighting, night lights and lever door handles
- An occupational therapist (OT) visit, arranged through us, to mark, measure and recommend
From first call to finished work
1. You call or send a request. Tell us what is hard at home right now.
2. A free home safety visit. We go through the home with you and your parent, room by room.
Optional: an occupational therapist (OT). If you want a professional's view first, we can arrange an OT to visit. The OT can mark where grab bars and rails should go, recommend equipment, size walkers and beds, and check that the home is safe for how your parent moves. The OT is paid for privately by the family, so check whether your insurance plan covers it.
3. A written quote. Our contractor partner quotes the work, so you know the cost before anything starts.
4. The work is done. Our contractor partner does the installation, and we stay in touch until it is finished.
5. Help with funding paperwork. Some programs and tax credits can help with the cost. We help you apply; each program decides who qualifies.
Need help with care, too?
