Aids & Adaptations
We are committed to enabling you to live in your home comfortably and independently. If you are elderly, have a long-term illness or are disabled, our Aids and Adaptations service may be able to help make your home more comfortable for you. You will be treated sympathetically, and anything you tell us will be confidential.
How can we help?
There are a lot of minor modifications we can do to your home to make it easier for you to be independent. These include things like:
-
Staircase modifications
-
Kitchen lever taps
-
External lighting
-
WC lever flush handles
-
Flashing door bells
-
Bathroom grab rails
-
Smoke alarm alerts

Door and wall protectors
-
Main entrance support rails
-
Safety glass

Grab, newel and handrails
-
Dropped kerbs
-
Internal door and threshold ramps

Window opening equipment
We will also:
- carry out an inspection within 10 working days and complete minor adaptations, such as grab rails, within 28 working days of receiving your request for assistance;
-
help support and advise you until your major adaptation is completed;
-
where possible, we will recycle adaptations such as stair lifts and ramps; and
-
work in partnership with Community Therapy Services, GPs and Buckinghamshire Council to coordinate requests for more substantial adaptations.
