Aids and adaptations

One in three of our tenants have some sort of disability and at some time in their life may find that their home is no longer suitable for their needs.

We try to design new homes with this in mind, but in some of our older homes, or in properties we have bought from other people, this might not be the case.

Sometimes we can help by giving people advice and support about moving to another, more suitable home. Sometimes we may even be able to provide such a home ourselves. But if the person wants to stay in their current home, we will do everything we can to help them do so.

We may have to adapt the property so that the person living there can live a more independent life. It may be a very minor thing such as a 'grab-rail' to help the tenant get into and out of the bath, or a major thing such as putting in a stair lift or a downstairs toilet.

For any more information about aids and adaptations, contact Fay Gorick, Technical Manager, on 0117 316 7209 or email fay.gorick@redlandha.co.uk.
