Home Adaptations For The Elderly In Hertfordshire

In order to assess the adaptations that may need to be made to your relative’s home in Hertfordshire, a home assessment needs to be carried out. In Hertfordshire, initial home assessments are made either in-person or over-the-phone by the Herts Home Improvement Service.

After this initial home assessment, their team will be able to make some recommendations for making your relative’s home safer. If your relative’s needs are more complex, they may arrange for a community or private occupational therapist to visit and give some further recommendations.

The Herts Home Improvement Agency will also be able to contact your housing association or landlord, make submissions to the council on your relative’s behalf and source trusted contractors to carry out the work. Your relative may or may not be eligible for a grant for these alterations, depending on their financial circumstances.

Adaptations that the Herts Home Improvement Agency can help with includes the installation of stair lifts and ramps, fitting accessible baths and showers and converting the functions of rooms.

You can request a visit or callback from the Herts Home Improvement Agency for your relative by filling out this online form. Their team of caseworkers and assessors will guide your relative through the work being done and advise them on the availability of grants, where applicable.
