Adapting your home

We understand that there may be reasons like health or age that could make staying in your home difficult. Adapted-bathroom.jpg

Our Aids and Adaptations service is available to all of our tenants, regardless of where they live. The service is funded through local authority grants and aims to make living in your home easier. 

 

What type of work does it cover?

The types of aids and adaptations works fall into two main groups:

  • minor adaptations such as: grab or hand rails; lever taps; door entry systems; flashing door bells,
  • major adaptations such as: walk-in showers; hoists; ramps; stair lifts; widening doors

 

How is it funded?

We will pay for minor aids and adaptations under £1,000. For major adaptations, over £1,000, you can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant via the Local Authority, who will carry out an assessment of your finances before making a decision.
