Aids and Adaptations
If you are having difficulty managing at home because of a disability, we may be able to help. Last year, we completed 399 aids and adaptations. The types of aids and adaptations that are available include:
- Hand and grab rails
- Lever taps
- Stairlifts
- Level entry showers
- Access ramps
- Alterations to doorways
- Change heating systems
If you think you could benefit from this service, you will need to contact Social Services at Care Direct, Devon County Council on 01392 385800. Care Direct will be able to put you in contact with the referral co-ordinator for your area.
Before we can carry out any work, your needs will be assessed by an Occupational Therapist.
Once we receive the requests for aids and adaptations from an Occupational Therapist, we will consider them within 15 working days. We will inform you of the outcome and the time when we expect the work to be done.
