Aids, equipment and adaptations

These are small changes made to your home and usually cost than less than £1,000. For example:

• grab rails around the bath, shower or toilet
• grab rails by the front or back door
• extra stair rails
• small steps to doors
• lever taps in the kitchen.

These are significant changes to your home and are more expensive. For example:

• level access showers or wet rooms
• stairlifts or through-floor lifts
• wheelchair ramps
• widening doorways
• adapting kitchens.

If you require minor adaptations that cost less than £1,000, our disability resource team may be able to help.

To request equipment, please get in touch by either of the following methods and leave your details:

If your adaptations will cost £1,000 or more, these are classed as major adaptations and you will need to pay for them.

If you’re disabled or have a long-term health condition, you may qualify for a disabled facilities grant that you can use to pay for changes to your home.

Before you can apply, you will need to be assessed by an occupational therapist.

Find out more about the disabled facilities grant and how to apply on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council website.
