Specialist Housing Service (Adaptations and Rehousing)
Specialist Housing Services team is committed to providing the right kind of care and support to help you live as independently as possible.
We may be able to:
- Help you with major adaptations (large changes) to your home, such as fitting a lift and converting rooms
- Help you to move to a house that is easier for you to live in
- Regularly check and repair lifting equipment in your home
If you think we may be able to help you, then you should contact Community Occupational Therapy (see phone number below). We will then arrange for someone to visit you to find out what daily activities you find difficult to carry out in your home and what your needs are. This is called an assessment. Whoever visits you, will also check to see if you meet the eligibility criteria. We will not be able to assess your needs immediately, so we will let you know how long you will have to wait.

Who can we help?
As we cannot provide everything that we are asked for, we have to decide how to provide the best service we can, for all the people who live in Salford. The eligibility criteria for our services help to make sure that we provide services fairly.
- You must live in Salford permanently
- You must be substantially and permanently disabled, according to Section 29(1) of the National Assistance Act 1948. For adaptations to your home, you must be substantially and permanently disabled according to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996
- Your disability must make it much more difficult for you to carry out normal, daily activities in your home, such as dressing, washing and going to the toilet. If you have a carer who helps you with these tasks, then the help they give must be more than one person should be expected to carry out
For more detailed information about eligibility criteria, you should ask community occupational therapy. If you do not meet the criteria, we may not be able to provide you with services.
