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 caring is made easier by supporting a disabled person in surroundings which are tailored to meet their needs.

We have produced a six step guide (pdf 771.48Kb) for people with a disability, and their carers, on how to get your home adapted.

This guide explains how to get your home successfully adapted. It 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.

For more information, or to make an enquiry about adaptations to your home, call 01952 381397, or email OTherapy@telford.gov.uk

For other repairs and improvements to your home, you can also contact the Council's Home Improvement Agency.
