Equipment to help you care for someone
You can ask for a home assessment if you help someone:
- getting in or out of bed or chair
- washing or dressing themselves
- going to and using the toilet
- moving about the house and reaching for things
Equipment can help the person you are looking after to be more independent and make your life easier.

What we may pay for
We will identify what you need at home to make everyday tasks easier for you.
If you need equipment or minor changes to your home, we’ll pay for these up to the value of £1,000.
Major adaptations, for example, stair lifts or entrance ramps, require a Disabled Facilities Grant. Depending on your household income and savings, you may pay none, some, or all the cost.
You can find out about making changes to your home.
