Housing and living independently

Personal care includes things like:

• bathing and showering
• getting dressed
• going to the toilet

If you need help with personal care, it doesn't mean you can't live independently.

Changes to your home

Changes can be made to your home to help you with personal care.

For example, changing your bathroom to a wet room.

If you need changes to your home to help you stay independent, you may be eligible for the Disabled Facilities Grant.

If you need help with your personal care, you may be able to hire a personal assistant, or get help from home care providers.
