How much does it cost?

This service is funded by our principal supporter, Wohl Legacy, alongside generous individuals from across the community.

Some of the items recommended might be provided by your local authority. If larger home adaptations are needed, we can help you get funding through a Disabled Facilities Grant, or, if your main source of income is a state benefit, we can offer a grant or loan.

Aids and home adaptations

I was struggling for a long time to get in and out of my bath. Then I heard from a friend about Jewish Blind & Disabled’s Independent Living Advisory service. The adviser suggested that I should use a shower/bath board. I was so relieved that there was a relatively simple solution to my problem. I was getting extremely upset about the loss of my independence and frustrated about my situation. I now know I can manage.”
