Support in the shower and fold-away bars at the toilet, placed for the person using them.

03

Wall-mounted vanities

Set at a comfortable height with clearance underneath for a wheelchair or walker.

04

Wider, safer doorways

Doors widened, or changed to open outward, for easier and safer access.

05

Reachable controls and fixtures

Handheld showers, chair-height or dual shower controls, single-lever faucets, and taller toilets.

Slip-resistant tile, LED lighting over the vanity, and a quiet exhaust fan.

ALBERTA RAMP CONSIDERATIONS

Plan the room first. Confirm funding separately.

Bath & Home may help explain practical renovation considerations related to an accessible bathroom. Alberta’s Residential Access Modification Program determines eligibility, approval, eligible work, and funding. Homeowners should confirm current program requirements before relying on funding in the project plan.

Questions about accessible bathrooms

Practical answers before you begin.

Every home is different. These answers are a useful starting point, and the details are confirmed after a look at the room.

Can an existing bathroom be made accessible?

In most cases, yes. Most bathrooms can be adapted with a low-entry or roll-in shower, grab bars, a wall-mounted vanity, and a wider or outward-opening door. The options depend on the room’s size, structure, and plumbing.

What features can an accessible bathroom include?

Common features include curbless or low-threshold showers, built-in or fold-down seating, handheld showers with chair-height or dual controls, grab bars at the shower, toilet, and vanity, a wall-mounted vanity, a taller toilet, non-slip flooring, and good lighting.

Can an accessible bathroom still feel like home?

Yes. Safety and mobility features can be integrated through layout, materials, lighting, storage, and carefully selected fixtures.

When should grab-bar locations be planned?

Before walls and tile are finished, so solid backing can be added exactly where support is needed.

How long does an accessible bathroom renovation take?

Most take about two to four weeks once work begins, depending on scope. If it’s the only bathroom in the home, that’s planned for before work starts.

Are consultations and estimates free?

Yes. The first consultation and the estimate are free. Call 403-560-0810 or use the request form above.
