Access Tools

If you or someone living in your property is disabled you may qualify for a disabled facilities grant towards the cost of providing adaptations and facilities to enable you/the disabled person to continue to live there.

An assessment of your needs will be made, usually by an occupational therapist from social services. Examples of the type of work may include:

• widening doors and installing ramps to help you get in and out of your property
• installing a stair lift or providing a downstairs bathroom
• installing a walk-in shower
• adapting heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use

If you would like an assessment to determine your eligibility (and are 65 years old or over ) please contact the social services team for your area:
