I have problems with mobility can I get any help with
adaptions to my home? |
|
If you have mobility problems and need any aids or
adaptations to your own or privately rented home, such as grab
rails, a level access shower, a ramp or stairlift etc, your first
point of contact is the Adult Social Care line on 0845
6037630.
They will arrange for an Occupational Therapist to visit you to
assess what works and adaptions would help you. Minor aids or
adaptations they will provide for you, for more major adaptations
they will pass the details to Tendring District Council. We work in
partnership with Swan Care and Repair who act as our agents to
process and administer the Disabled Facilities Grants. Swan Care
and Repair also holds a list of approved contractors who can carry
out the works.
Disabled Facilities Grants are mandatory but are means tested. If
you are in receipt of certain income related benefits you would not
have to pay towards the work.
For further information, please see our
Disabled Facilities Grants
