If a change to your home could help you carry out day to day tasks we may be able to help. Our occupational therapists will work with you to decide what adaptations might be suitable for you.
If you want to pay for changes to your home yourself, you can find out what equipment could help and where you can get it on Equipment to help you at home.

- you are due to leave hospital but your accommodation isn’t suitable for your needs anymore

Depending on your needs, we can make changes to your home including:

Rehousing
If you are struggling to live in your home and it is not possible to make changes to it, then we can prioritise moving you to social housing that would be suitable for your needs.
