Surrey is set to receive an extra £886,000 from the Government for home adaptations such as wheelchair ramps, hoists, and stairlifts, helping elderly and disabled residents live safely and independently in their own homes.
Since 2010 there have been almost half a million home adaptions across the country, backed by £4.8 billion of funding. Making sure homes are properly adapted means we can discharge patients from hospital more quickly - freeing up beds in hospitals and cutting NHS waiting times.
If you know someone who might benefit from a Disabled Facilities Grant, you can call Tandridge Council on 01883 722000 or email me on [email protected] and I can guide you through the process.
