Our Occupational Therapists can advise on improvements to your home to meet a physical need. If we cannot complete the work ourselves, we will engage reputable contractors and then oversee the process from start to finish. Work may include:
- fitting grab rails
- fitting bath/shower aids
- fitting access ramps
We can provide you with advice on funding that may be available to help with your adaptation.
You can self-refer to our adaptation service.
