Disabled People and Carers

Your home

Being able to use all the facilities within your home is essential to everyday life. If your accommodation does not enable you to maximise your ability to do this, assistance may be available.

Adaptations – an adaptation to your home may make it more accessible and enable you to carry out everyday activities independently. 

Alternative Accommodation? – if you feel that your current home is not meeting your needs, you may want to explore the options for moving.

Living in your own or privately rented accommodation? - The Disabled Facilities Grant is available for a range of works needed to help a disabled person to remain living more independently in their home. There are also other housing grants available.

Occupational Therapy – occupational therapists promote independence through assessment and advice on daily activities, recommending where necessary, equipment or adaptations within the home.
