Property Adaptations

North Devon Homes is committed to enabling older, disabled and vulnerable people to maintain their independence and ensuring that their homes are safe and convenient to use. We want to deliver a quick and responsive minor adaptations service in support of adaptations requested by social services.

If you require any disabled adaptations to your property, you will first need to arrange for an Occupational Therapist to visit you in your home to make an assessment of the works required. This can be arranged by contacting Care Direct on 0845 155 1007 or you can visit their website www.devon.gov.uk/caredirect. North Devon Homes will not accept a request for minor adaptations without a referral from an Occupational Therapist. 

What happens then?
Once you have been visited by an Occupational Therapist so they can carry out an assessment they will forward a referral for works to us. You can find out the progress of minor adaptation referrals by contacting our Custoemr CAre Team on 01271 312500 or email us at enquiries@ndh-ltd.co.uk
If the Occupational Therapist recommends more major works to be carried out in your home they will complete a Statement of Need form with you. You will need to get seperate funding for these works. This funding may be obtained via a Disabled Facilities Grant. Your Occupational Therapist or case worker will be able to support you through this process.

More information on Disabled Facilities Grants can be found at the Direct.gov website.
