A specialist electrical service designed around the needs of elderly residents — with an in-house occupational therapist coordinating every assessment.
Leading Edge is one of the few electrical contractors on the Sunshine Coast with a qualified occupational therapist as part of the team. Jessica Keller specialises in aged care accessibility and works directly alongside our electricians to assess each client’s home and identify the modifications that will make the most practical difference.
This means your assessment, recommendation, and installation are all coordinated through one provider — no separate OT and trades appointments, and no recommendations that aren’t practical or ready to action.
Lighting Solutions
Sensor lights, night lights, pathway lighting and LED upgrades targeted to where the resident actually moves — especially between bedroom and bathroom at night.
Oven Timer Installation
Timer switches wired into the oven or cooktop circuit to cut power after a set duration — removing one of the most common kitchen hazards in older homes.
Visual Smoke Detection
Photoelectric alarms with integrated strobe alerts provide a visual warning alongside the audible siren — critical for residents with any degree of hearing loss.
Bathroom & Hallway Lighting
Motion-activated lighting ensures safe night-time navigation without requiring the resident to locate or operate a switch in the dark.
Accessible Power Points
Power points repositioned to accessible heights with USB-integrated outlets to reduce adaptor clutter and eliminate trip hazards from trailing cables.
Aged Care Facility Upgrades
Common area lighting upgrades, emergency lighting, compliance testing and planned maintenance programs for residential aged care facilities across the Sunshine Coast.
Homeowners Ageing in Place
Residents who want to stay in their own home safely and independently as their needs change over time.
Families & Carers
Family members arranging safety modifications for a parent or relative, often following a fall, health change, or hospital discharge.
