The centre argued that it was “imperative” the Government continued to fund the Disabled Facilities Grant so that home adaptations could be put in place, as they are cost-effective and reduce the pressures on the health service.
Cllr Ian Hudspeth, the LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board, said: “Councils are committed to keeping people at home and independent for as long as possible. As the report highlights, councils and partners are using a range of forward- thinking initiatives to adapt and improve homes, to ensure homes are accessible.”
