Home adaptations
Adaptations to your home may make it easier for you to use if you are disabled or have limited mobility.
Adaptations may include:
- grab rails in the bathroom or at the entrance
- wider doors for wheelchair access
- a level access shower
- a stair lift
- a ramp
We offer different services to help with adaptations depending on whether you are:
