Types of Disabled Home Adaptations
When you decide that you wish to adapt your property and that you are going to apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant, here is some useful information to assist you in starting the project.
To access a Disabled Facility Grant, a Community Occupational Therapist will first need to speak with you to assess what adaptations are needed to your home.
These are some examples of the range of disabled adaptations which can be considered for grant assistance.
Shower Facilities
The installation of a shower enabling you to enjoy a shower whenever you want, with a greater level of independence and dignity
Kitchen Facilities
The re-arrangement of your kitchen to enable you to move around easily and access drawers, cupboards and work-surfaces
Managing the Stairs
If you are finding your stairs difficult to manage, a Disabled Facilities Grant can be provided to give you facilities such as a bedroom, shower-room or a toilet on the groundfloor.
Accessing your Home
The provision of a ramp or specially designed steps will help you to enter or leave your home when you want and can often be situated where you would like to have them.
Moving around your Home
Doorways can be widened and internal spaces created to make moving around the home much easier and safer.
