Together we're creating a new Bromford. You can still contact us on 0300 123 2222 and use this site to pay your rent or report a repair
We want to support you to live safely and independently in your own home. We have a dedicated team who will work with you to make changes to your home, or look at other options to maintain and improve your quality of life. We'll assess your needs and will recommend changes to your home.
Aids are pieces of equipment that help you to manage at home more independently. The types of aids we can provide include:
These are just some examples of the aids we may be able to help you with. We will pay for some aids and can recommend local suppliers for others.
Adaptations are permanent changes which make getting around the home easier. They can improve your quality of life in the long-term and include:
All these things are designed to help keep you safe and make it easier to get around the home. They benefit people who are less able but wish to retain their independence by staying in their own home and community.
We will pay for the cost of adapting your property up to a certain amount. If the work costs more than this then you will need to apply to your local council for a Disabled Facilities Grant. Our team can help you apply for this grant.
If you can’t get a grant, there are some charities, such as the British Legion that may be able to help as well. Check out the Turn2us website for help gaining access to grants and other help.
We use the same eligibility criteria for these assessments as South Gloucestershire Council. Under these guidelines there are four bands: critical, substantial, moderate and low.
We can help you if your needs fall in the critical or substantial bands. If you fall outside of these bands then we will advise you of your options and tell you where you can get help.
Please note we will not carry out any improvements related to mobility scooters. This is because they are not recognised as an NHS mobility aid.
Please contact us on 0300 123 2222 and ask to speak to a member of the Aids and Adaptations team.
