If your health or mobility needs have changed, you might need help to stay where you are or move to a home that’s more suitable.

If your home no longer meets your health needs

If your current property is no longer suitable because of your health or mobility, we may be able to help you move. Contact your local housing office to discuss your options.

Housing association or private tenants

If you live in a housing association or private rented home, contact your landlord directly using the details they’ve provided. If you’re unable to resolve the issue, you may need to explore other housing options.

Adapting your home

You may be able to stay in your current home with the help of adaptations. These could include:

  • handrails
  • ramps
  • other modifications to help with day-to-day tasks

If you're a Sheffield City Council tenant, please contact your Neighbourhood Officer to ask about adaptations.
