| Annotation | The Care Act 2014 and associated regulations and statutory guidance provides the context for the assessment of and response to potential care and support needs of adults and carers, including the adaptation of properties. Implementation of parts of the Act began in April 2015. This briefing aims to explain the connections between the Act and the provision of help with home adaptations, particularly Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs),and to note opportunities for integration, also the role of prevention. The briefing is aimed at those who plan, commission and provide health care, social care and/or housing related provision; Directors of Public Health; Directors of Social Services; Members of Health and Wellbeing Boards; and patient and service user representatives. Complementary to the briefing are some 'cameos' of local good practice in provision of home adaptations (see https://homeadaptationsconsortium.wordpress.com/good-practice/). The Briefing and the good practice information are backed by Public Health England and endorsed by the Home Adaptations Consortium. (RH). |
