Questions & Answers

Q What are adaptations?

A   Adaptations are changes we will make to your property to suit your abilities and allow you to use your home more easily. They may allow you to live in your home for a longer time.

Q  What sort of changes will you make?

A   These range from handrails at doors or at the bath to special kitchens or level access showers.

Q  How do I get these done?

A   We will carry out the smaller ones (handrails etc) ourselves, simply ask us. Larger adaptations (showers, ramps etc.) require an instruction from an Occupational Therapist, or another health professional.

Q  How do I find an Occupational Therapist?

A   Normally through your doctor, but we can provide you with the appropriate contacts if you wish.

Q  How long will it take?

A   The small adaptations can be done in ~2 weeks. The larger ones often take several months after we obtain the instructions.

Q  Why does it take so long?

A   Because the larger adaptations are tailored to your needs, and must be specified and costed before work can begin. Also sometimes the parts are slow for the Contractor to get.

Q  I would like a (higher fence, to keep my children in?), will you do that for me?
