What do I do if I need a handrail or other changes in my home?
If you or a family member are struggling with day-to-day activities in your home, you may need some adjustments. To request a home visit to discuss this, call us on 0300 555 6666. There are usually three options:
  • Minor adaptations – small changes (like rails) which can be installed by our repairs and maintenance team.
  • Major adaptations – more complex changes such as installing a stairlift or level-access shower. Your local authority is responsible for these and will arrange an assessment by an occupational therapist.
Moving – in some cases, moving may be the best option. Our range of wellbeing homes are designed for people who need extra support.
