Council supports people with Facilities Grants

Published: 15/07/2019

COPELAND Council has supported almost 150 residents to live safely and independently in their own homes during the last year, new figures reveal.

The council administered 148 Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) in 2018/19, to allow homes to be adapted to suit the occupant’s needs, often in response to a change in mobility levels, an accident or ill health.

Adaptations have included the installation of through-floor lifts, stairlifts and ramps, adapted bathrooms, door-widening and ground-floor extensions. Twenty of the adaptations have been carried out for children.
