If you or someone living with you has a disability and you live
in the City of London, we may be able to help you adapt your home
so that you can continue to live independently.
If you are disabled there may be physical barriers that make it
difficult for you to carry out day to day activities. An adaptation
may enable you to move around your home and access its facilities
more easily. It may also make it easier for your carers to look
after you.
Typical adaptations include:
- Stair lifts and through floor lifts
- Ramps, rails and step lifts
- Door widening for wheelchair access
- Adapting kitchens by providing low level units
- Level access showers and other bathroom alterations
- Improving heating

authority housing department.
