Home Adaptation Service Launched
30 Apr 2004
A new service has been launched to help disabled and older people adapt their home so they can live more safely, conveniently and independently.
Anyone who is applying for a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) to adapt their home and needing to employ professional designers to plan and oversee the work can contact the House Adaptations Advisory Service (HAAS) to be put in touch with the right experienced people.
HAAS is the only UK-wide register of health care professionals, architects, surveyors and other related professionals who have a demonstrable knowledge of the housing needs of disabled and older people. Its database also contains details of members’ experience of other small-scale projects including community and day centres. Users of the service are sent a list of all the members in their region, with details of their prior work, free of charge.
