Your home should be a place of comfort, safety, and independence — no matter your age or mobility level. As more Albertans look for ways to make their homes accessible, Devine Hands is proud to provide professional home adaptation services that combine functionality, safety, and thoughtful design.
Whether it’s installing grab bars, widening doorways, or modifying bathrooms for ease of use, our goal is simple: to help homeowners enjoy their spaces with confidence and dignity.
Why Accessibility Matters in Every Home
Accessibility isn’t just for seniors or individuals with disabilities — it’s for anyone who wants to live comfortably and independently in their home. Thoughtful home adaptations can make daily activities easier, reduce the risk of injury, and extend the amount of time you or your loved ones can remain at home safely.
In Alberta, where many families live in multi-level homes or properties with unique layouts, accessibility improvements can make a world of difference. They help future-proof your home, making it adaptable for changing needs over time.
Benefits of home adaptations include:
- Increased safety and reduced risk of falls
- Improved independence and comfort for all residents
- Better functionality for daily routines
- Enhanced property value through inclusive design
Common Accessibility Upgrades for Alberta Homes
At Devine Hands, we customize accessibility solutions for each homeowner. Every detail — from measurements to materials — is tailored to meet both safety standards and design preferences.
1. Grab Bars and Handrails
Installing grab bars near showers, bathtubs, and toilets offers essential stability for daily use. Handrails along hallways and stairs provide extra support and peace of mind, especially for seniors or individuals with limited mobility.
2. Ramps and Threshold Adjustments
Replacing steps with gradual ramps and leveling uneven thresholds makes movement between rooms or entryways seamless. These modifications enhance accessibility for wheelchair users, strollers, or anyone who prefers safer transitions.
3. Wider Doorways and Hallways
Narrow spaces can limit mobility. Expanding doorways and hallways allows for easier navigation and accommodates mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers without compromising your home’s appearance.
4. Bathroom Adaptations
Bathrooms can be hazardous without the right features. Our bathroom upgrades include walk-in showers, non-slip flooring, handheld showerheads, and comfort-height toilets — all designed for accessibility and safety.
5. Kitchen Modifications
Accessible kitchens allow you to cook, clean, and dine comfortably. Lower countertops, pull-out shelves, and easy-to-reach appliances make your kitchen both beautiful and practical.
6. Smart Home Integration
Modern technology is transforming accessibility. Voice-activated lights, thermostats, and security systems provide added convenience and independence for homeowners of all ages.
The Devine Hands Approach to Accessible Design
Creating an accessible home is about more than adding safety features — it’s about designing a space that feels natural, welcoming, and inclusive.
At Devine Hands, we take a comprehensive approach to accessibility renovations. Our process ensures every upgrade enhances both comfort and aesthetics.
Step 1: Assessment & Consultation
We start by listening. Our team evaluates your home layout, mobility needs, and design preferences to create a personalized adaptation plan.
Step 2: Customized Planning
Every home is different. We tailor modifications to your specific requirements while maintaining your home’s original beauty and charm.
Step 3: Professional Installation
From grab bars to ramps and bathroom upgrades, our fully insured professionals ensure all installations meet safety standards and provide lasting durability.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
We make sure every feature — from railing placement to lighting — looks seamless and feels comfortable to use.
Safety Meets Style
Accessibility doesn’t mean compromising on design. Modern accessibility features blend effortlessly into your home’s aesthetic. Sleek stainless-steel grab bars, low-profile ramps, and stylish barrier-free showers ensure that your home remains elegant while being safer and more functional.
Devine Hands focuses on creating spaces that look as good as they feel — because everyone deserves a home that’s both beautiful and practical.
Adapting for Aging in Place
Many Alberta homeowners are choosing to “age in place,” staying in their homes rather than moving into assisted living. Proper home adaptations make this possible by preventing falls, increasing independence, and improving day-to-day living.
Key features for aging in place include:
- Non-slip flooring and level transitions
- Lever-style door handles and faucets
- Adequate lighting in hallways and stairways
- Accessible bathrooms and bedrooms on main levels
Our team ensures these changes are done efficiently and with care, helping you or your loved ones remain comfortable and confident at home.
Alberta Homes and Accessibility Challenges
In Alberta’s diverse housing market — from newer suburban builds to older rural homes — accessibility often requires tailored solutions. Basements, split-level designs, and steep entrances are common challenges.
At Devine Hands, we combine local expertise with precision craftsmanship to overcome these challenges. We understand Alberta’s building standards and climate considerations, ensuring every modification is durable, functional, and compliant with safety regulations.
Beyond Accessibility: Comfort and Convenience
Home adaptations can benefit everyone, not just those with mobility concerns. Families with young children, multi-generational households, and homeowners seeking long-term comfort all gain value from accessibility upgrades.
A safer, more adaptable home means fewer accidents, easier cleaning, and a space that grows with your family’s changing needs.
