Home modification explained.

Home modifications are custom-built changes to your home to help you access and use areas of your home.

You may need home modifications if you:

• have safety concerns or difficulty moving around your home
• have trouble with personal care, like using your shower
• can’t use the rooms you need to use in your home
• have difficulty achieving your goals in your home because of your disability
• need changes to your home so your carers can support you safely.

Home modifications can be minor changes or they can be complex.

As with any building work, there are laws and regulations that need to be adhered to when undertaking home modifications under the Scheme.
