We are committed to meeting the needs of our residents to support where practicable, independent living in their homes with privacy and dignity for as long as possible.
By providing this service, we will always consider how suitable the overall accommodation is in relation to the individual, their family and their care providers, along with the nature of that property, to provide the best solution for both the resident and CCHA.
There are more details within our Aids and Adaptations Policy.
Examples of minor adaptations include the fitting of grab rails, handrails, lever taps and small ramps.
Applications for minor adaptations can be received from Occupational Therapists, GPs or directly from a customer or their appointed representative, in writing. You can also apply using the enquiry form below.
These adaptation applications, if agreed, are funded by us and will usually be raised as a 21-day timescale job and carried out by a local CCHA partner contractor, by appointment.
Major adaptations are more significant. Examples include showers, wet rooms, ramps, stairlifts and doorway widening.
For major adaptations, customers will need an Occupational Therapist’s referral, which can be arranged by contacting Adult Social Care at your local authority.
All referrals, once received by CCHA, are fully assessed (type of property, suitability for adaptation, tenancy history and alternative accommodation options), and if agreed, will be forwarded to the Local Authority who will generally arrange and supervise the works.
