Help to stay independent at home
If you or someone in your home has a disability or finds it hard to get around, help is available to make everyday life easier. Some costs might even be covered by a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).
We can arrange small changes like handrails, grab rails, or lever taps. For bigger changes, like a stairlift, level-access shower, wheelchair-friendly kitchen, or a large ramp, your local council’s occupational therapy team may be able to help.
That’s what happened for Dianne, pictured, who’s had an accessible shower and level-access path installed at her Cottsway home.
Dianne says: “I’m now able to get out of and into my home using my wheelchair and being able to sit down and shower means so much to me. I know that these are things that most people take for granted, but these little things are big for me and my family. It’s made life so much easier for me. I am so happy.”
