From Consultation to Completion: Ottawa’s Expert Home Modifications

At Adaptive Living, we specialize in custom renovations that make homes safer, more comfortable, and easier to navigate. Our focus is on accessible home modifications for aging in place, helping individuals maintain independence while enjoying the familiarity of their own home. Once we confirm that we’re the right fit for your project, we begin with a design retainer based on the agreed scope and preliminary budget.

How We Transform Homes: Our 5-Step Renovation Process

Our 5-Step Process goes beyond standard renovation services, offering Whole Home Safety solutions tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you need something simple like a Lower Beds bar installation or a more complete redesign, such as a wheelchair accessible bathroom design and installation, our approach ensures functionality, safety, and style.

Scope Creation

In this first phase, we take the time to understand your unique needs. For families managing progressive disabilities, we collaborate with your Occupational Therapist (OT) or one of our on-contract OTs to make sure the plans meet both current and future requirements. When renovations are phased, we carefully plan so costs are minimized and future updates fit seamlessly.

Accessibility Planning

Once floor plans are approved, our Designer & Selections Coordinator works with you (and your OT if needed) to identify the right solutions. This could mean barrier-free layouts, thoughtfully placed fixtures, or handicap accessible bedroom renovations that make everyday routines simpler and safer. Every detail is chosen to fit your lifestyle, not just today but for years to come.

Project Management

This streamlined approach guarantees a seamless renovation process, tailored to your needs, from start to finish.

Temporary Living Arrangements

We’ll create temporary living or kitchen areas if you need to stay in the home during renovations.

Consistent Communication

Our Site Supervisor establishes your preferred communication method (phone, text, or email) and frequency (daily or weekly).

Daily Monitoring & Safety Protocols

The Site Supervisor monitors the project daily to ensure quality control. Only WSIB-cleared trades and suppliers are allowed on-site, and safety protocols are strictly followed.
