Equipment and adaptations
Click here for more information on WATCH home alarm system

If you live in Wandsworth and are having problems coping in your home, help is available. This section provides advice on who to contact if you think you might need equipment or adaptations to your property.

If you would like advice and information on equipment (chair raisers, toilet seats etc.) and adaptations (grab rails, stair lifts etc.), please contact Wandsworth Community Equipment Service.

Alternatively, you can contact the council's Occupational Therapy Service directly.

If you require adaptations to your home the Occupational Therapy Service will liaise with the council's Disability Adaptations Team to arrange the works which will be carried out at no cost to you.

You can also apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant if you wish but this is not usually necessary as the housing department will fund any adaptation works required. If you are eligible for the grant, you may wish to make your own arrangements for the work to be carried out. Alternatively, you may seek assistance from the council's Home Improvement Agency.
