Home adaptations

Adaptations are changes to your home that help you and your family live independently with privacy, confidence, and dignity.

Some examples of adaptations are:

  • Minor Adaptations – grab rails, banister rails, lever taps
  • Moderate Adaptations – blacksmith handrails, over bath showers
  • Major Adaptations – level access showers, removable ramps, overhead track ceiling hoists, stairlifts.
  • Complex Adaptations – formation of shower room/ WC on the ground floor, extensions, conversion of rooms/ properties, through floor lifts.

How adaptations are arranged for you and funded, will depend on the type of adaptation and who owns your property.
