Adaptations to help you in your home

Limited funds are available for carrying out works to the homes of elderly or disabled tenants. Minor adaptations such as fitting lever taps can be done fairly quickly. You may want to contact your GP or Social Services first to arrange for an assessment of your needs. You may be entitled to apply to the local authority for a Disabled Facilities Grant Opens in a new window to pay for all or part of the cost if major alterations (such as ramps or level access showers) are required to your home.
