Making changes and repairs to your home
You may need to make more permanent changes to your home to make it easier for you to get around.
What changes to my home will help me?
Hertfordshire Home Improvement Agency can give you advice and help on making home adaptations.
They help older, disabled and vulnerable people stay in their own home and can help you claim a Disabled Facilities Grant to pay towards any adaptations you need.

Equipment for older people and disabled people
A piece of equipment might help you get around without the need for making bigger changes to your home.
