Aids and Adaptations

You or a member of your household may find that some adaptations will make your life a lot easier.

Adaptations to your home fall under two categories:

  • Minor adaptations- such as grab rails around the home
  • Major adaptations- such as lifting equipment or level access showers

HHS has an annual budget for minor adaptations, so if you think you or someone in the household would benefit from a minor adaptation then please get in contact with us.

Major adaptations are generally works that will cost over £1,000 and are more complex. Customers who have a need for a major adaptation should either contact us, or contact social services. Depending on the type of work required, you may need a GP referral and/or an Occupational Therapist assessment and there may be external funding, called a Disabled Facilities Grant, available to you.

Every case is different though, so please read our Adaptations Policy which provides more details.

For more information, please contact us or alternatively, you can self-refer to occupational health by email referral.centreadults@cambridgeshire.gov.uk, or phone 0345 045 5205 (adults) or 0345 045 5203 (children).
