Housing Adaptations Standards
If you have a disability, we want to support you in accessing the kind of care that lets you live as independently as possible. Assistance can be provided by our partners Housing Connections Partnership and Salford Disability Service. Salix Homes will, on request, make a referral on your behalf to the Occupational Therapy Team for an assessment. Customers meeting criteria in the Fair Access to Care Services document could be entitled to a range of services.
We will:
- Ensure you have access to equipment which will help you with daily tasks such as going to the toilet or having a bath.
- Help you with low cost adaptations (small changes costing under £1,000) to your home such as fitting hand rails.
- Help with major adaptations (large changes costing more than £1,000) to your home such as fitting a stair lift or converting rooms.
- If your home is considered inappropriate to meet your needs or cannot be adapted we will work with you to help you find a home a home that is easier to live in.
- Regularly check and repair the lifting equipment in your home. Maintenance contract is in place.
- Offer advice to our customers and where appropriate make referrals to our partners.
- Keep you informed on the progress of any referral we make on your behalf.
