two.1.4) Short description
Home adaptations are changes made to the fabric and fixtures of a home to make it safer and
easier to get around and to use for everyday tasks like cooking and bathing. Adapting a home
environment can help restore or enable independent living, privacy, confidence and dignity
for individuals and their families.
Adaptations can include the installation of stair-lifts, level access showers and wet-rooms,
wash and dry toilets, ramps, wider doors, and, in some instances, bespoke home extensions
to existing dwellings as well as improvements to access to and from gardens. Heating
systems, insulation and telecare and assistive technology (where it is capital) can be other
forms of adaptations.
Disabled Facilities Grants are capital grants that are available to people of all ages and in all
housing tenures (i.e. whether renting privately, from a social landlord or council, or owner occupiers) to contribute to the cost of adaptations.
They are administered by local housing authorities in England and enable eligible
disabled people to continue living safely and independently at home. This includes autistic
people, those with a mental health condition, physical disabilities, learning disabilities,
cognitive impairments such as dementia, and progressive conditions such as Motor Neurone
Disease. It includes those suffering from age-related disabilities and can also include those
with terminal illness. The DFG is one of a range of housing support measures that a local
authority can use to help enable people to live independently and safely at home and in their
communities.
