Home adaptations
Adaptations are changes which promote your safety in the home and enable you to live there more independently, whatever your disability.
Adaptations are changes in the home which promote your safety and enable you
to live there more independently, for example, handrails, ramps, hoists or
lifts. If you have a permanent physical disability, we may be able to adapt
your home when an occupational therapist's assessment shows that this is
necessary to help you to stay at home. We can carry out adaptations to
privately rented ,and privately owned properties.
Financial help is available for adaptations costing more than £1200. But the
financial help we can offer will depend on the amount of income and savings you
have. We can also assist you if you want to consider re-housing in a more
appropriate property.
When Adult Social Services have done an assessment but you do not meet the
criteria for an adaptation we can supply information about different suppliers
of stair lifts, ramps, accessible toilets, showers, baths, and handrails.
