| Annotation | Home adaptations can increase independence, help to prevent falls, reduce length of stay in hospital, and delay care home admission. However, many older and disabled people are waiting years for the adaptations that could improve their lives and make the job of a carer more manageable. Care & Repair England has produced this pamphlet in partnership with members of the DFG Consortium, to draw attention to the consequences of a lack of help with home adaptations and to the action national government and local authorities should take.
