NDIS Bathroom Modification In Geelong

This bathroom modification in Bell Park was funded by the NDIS for a client with a prosthetic leg. The renovation included removing the wall between his existing separate toilet and bathroom and changing the door positions. The result is a much larger, more user friendly bathroom with easy access for his wheelchair.
