Adapting homes

If you are older or disabled the council can help you to get your home adapted to meet your needs:
Today many disabled people enjoy greater independence in their own homes thanks to special equipment and adaptations. Carers, too, find their task is made easier by caring for a disabled person in surroundings which are tailored to meet their needs.

We have produced a six-step guide for people with a physical disability, and their carers, on how to get your home adapted. Please look under Forms on the right of this page.

The guide explains how to get your home successfully adapted. This includes the criteria the disabled person will have to meet, how to apply for a grant, planning the alterations and getting the work done. We can help you at every step along the way.

Contact Details

To make an enquiry about adaptations to your home, contact the Duty Officer on 01952 381380.
