Assistive Technology & Home Modifications

Assistive Technology & Home Modifications (Support at Home)

As we get older, the home we love sometimes needs small adjustments or the right equipment to stay safe, comfortable, and easy to navigate. The Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) scheme helps older Australians access the items and home improvements that support independence without using up their regular Support at Home budget.

 

With Sublime Care, you get clear guidance, coordinated support, and practical solutions that fit your needs, your home, and the way you like to live.

What Assistive Technology & Home Modifications can include

AT-HM funding can support a wide range of items and changes designed to make daily life easier, safer, and more manageable. Depending on your needs and assessment, support may include:

 

Assistive Technology

• Walking sticks, walkers, or wheelchairs
• Shower chairs, bath boards, or toileting aids
• Bed or seating supports
• Transfer equipment
• Personal alarms or safety devices
• Everyday items that make tasks easier

 

Home Modifications

• Grab rails in bathrooms, hallways, and around the home
• Internal and external handrails
• Ramps or threshold ramps for easier access
• Stair lifts
• Bathroom redesigns or walk-in showers
• Widened doorways or hallways for mobility access

These supports help reduce falls, improve mobility, and create a safer and more accessible home environment.

Who this support is for?

Assistive Technology & Home Modifications are ideal for older people who:

 

• Want to stay living safely and independently at home
• Find certain areas of their home harder to move around or manage
• Need equipment to make daily tasks easier
• Require home adjustments to reduce risks or improve mobility
• Are recovering from illness, injury, or changes in physical function

How it works at Sublime Care

• Or both

 

Clear guidance and planning
Together, we review your goals, what’s becoming difficult, and what would make your home feel safer and easier to navigate.

 

Assessments and recommendations
If required, a qualified allied health professional will assess your needs and recommend the right equipment or modifications.

 

Coordination from start to finish

We help with:

• Quotes
• Ordering equipment
• Scheduling builders or installers
• Setup and training
• Reporting and documentation

 

Flexible support over time
