Are you or do you know someone looking to adapt their home to better suit their needs, or the needs of a member of the household, which arise from a disability, illness or health condition?

What is an adaptation?

An adaptation to the home makes it easier for someone living there who is struggling to manage. It can be a minor adaptation, such as handrails, stair rails, or grab rails. Alternatively, it can be a major adaptation, a stair lift, walk in shower, even a ground floor home extension.

Who can request an assessment for an adaptation?

Anyone living in their own home with needs arising from, or related to a physical or mental impairment, or illness, is entitled to an assessment for an adaptation.

An assessment can be requested for any of the following reasons:

• You (or someone in the household) is having difficulties getting in or out of the bath, or shower

• You (or someone in the household) is having difficulties accessing the toilet

• You (or someone in the household) is having difficulties climbing the stairs

• You (or someone in the household) is unable to get into the home safely.

What is the process for getting a home adaptation?

There is a four-step process:

• Assessment

• Recommendation

• Design and build of the adaptation

• Funding.
