Aids and adaptations

If you're finding it difficult to get around your home, help is at hand.

We can help you to;

• Reorganise your home to try and make it easier to manage
• Apply for a new home that better meets your needs
• Apply for adaptations to make your home more accessible
• Request daily living aids to help you manage day to day tasks

Adaptations

Minor adaptations are works of a non-urgent kind and usually involve small jobs that can be programmed into our repairs schedule. This includes things such as:

• Grab rails (internal or external)
• Lever taps
• Half-height steps
• Additional stair rails

We aim to complete all minor adaptations within 28 working days. 

Major adaptations are larger scale changes to your home that require a referral from an occupational therapist. These include: 

• Level-access showers
• Over-bath showers
• Stair lifts
• Wash/dry toilets
• Adapted kitchens
• Through-floor lifts
• Hoists
