How to make your home safer and more comfortable

Simple changes to your home could make it safer and more comfortable for you, and help you stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. It’s not always easy to know where to start – especially if you’ve lived in your house for a long time. We’re here to help you make the choices that feel right for you. 

Paying for adaptations

You may be eligible for financial support to help you pay for home adaptations and the equipment that you need.
