Adapting your home

If you have problems moving around or coping in your home, we can carry out alterations that may help you such as ramps, showers and grab rails.

An occupational therapist will need to call and see you so that they can recommend the most appropriate alterations.  They may also be able to help you with other equipment.  Occupational therapists are usually employed by North Yorkshire County Council and, in other areas, by the local council.  Please refer to the leaflet below for contact details.

In some cases it may be better for you to move to more suitable accommodation and, if so, we will visit you and discuss this with you.

If the alteration is expensive, you may need to apply to your local council for a grant.  Depending on your circumstances, you may need to pay for some of the work.  We will help you claim the grant and organise the work for you.
