If you have a disability and your council home causes you difficulties, it may be possible to reduce these by altering or adapting your home to help you live life as fully and independently as possible.

What type of work?

The adaptation can be very simple, such as an extra stair rail or more complex like a stair lift. We organise all the work to be carried out.

We have a waiting list and prioritise applications so that the most urgent cases are dealt with quickly.

If your home needs a lot of adaptations a move to more suitable accommodation may be appropriate.

Who is eligible for help?

You must be registered as disabled with us or meet the criteria for registration.

You will need to have had an assessment from an occupational therapist employed by us to see what work is needed. A recommendation is then required from them in order for us to complete the adaptation.

A leaflet explaining the process in full is available to download on this page.
