Bedrooms
With more research than ever promoting the healthy benefits of a good night sleep maybe now is the time to take a look at your bedroom environment. Let us help you set the scene to encourage a relaxing and restorative sleep. We can work with speciality bed installations including mechanisms to assist getting in and out.
Outdoor Space
Taking the indoor out or bring the outdoor in, your outside space is an extension of your home. From managing the ground work to building multipurpose outdoor rooms, don't let the British weather stop your enjoyment of outdoors! Finding it challenging to get outdoors, we have multiple solutions such as ramps and raising flower beds to ensure you can continue to enjoy a space you love.
Funding Process
There are a number of reasons why people may need disability adaptations made to their homes. Did you know you may be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant to help fund the changes you need within you home to maintain your independence?
We can walk you though options that may available to you and if you are eligible we can support you right through to the end. To find out more see Disabled Facility Grants.
If you are funding the adaptations yourself we can start when you are ready to.
Either way why not call Sophie or Teena for a chat and they can discuss all funding and adaptation options that may be available to you.
Disabled Facility Grants
A Disabled Facilities Grant or DFG is available from Local Authorities to pay for essential housing adaptations to help disabled people stay in their own homes.
It is available in England and Wales.
What does it pay for?
The grant is able to pay for changes the council consider essential for the disabled person to live an independent life. The changes must be "necessary to meet your needs" and the work must be "reasonable and practical" gov.uk website.
