An overview of Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs)
Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs)
Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) are grants that must be available to people with a disability. These grants help make changes to homes so that people can live there safely, comfortably, and as independently and healthily as possible.
Home Adaptations
Home adaptations are changes to a home to make it safer and easier to use. These changes help people do everyday tasks like sleeping, cooking, and bathing. They can also help people feel more confident and independent.
Examples of adaptations:
- stair-lifts
- showers and wet rooms
- wash and dry toilets
- ramps and wider doorways
- home extensions
- better access to gardens
- heating systems and insulation
- telecare and assistive technology
