The DFG's represent a long standing and established means tested capital grant, which enable either a private homeowner or a tenanted occupier of a single residential home with disabilities to have adaptions installed by providing monetary grants which either fully or partially contribute to the costs of any approved adaption works. These works enable improved access to and around homes, better and easier use of bathing and bedroom facilities, and aid and maintain independent living. Typical examples of adaption work include: Minor works: creating a level access shower room, widening doorways, installation of handrails (wood/metal), providing ramps into the property, installation of wall mounded shower chairs. Major works: complex installations, large scale building works or ground floor extensions and other domestic conversions. Specialist work: installing and maintaining stair lifts and hoists Specialist work: installing specialist ramps and handrails (fabricated handrails - galvanised steel) It is the intention of Liverpool City Council (LCC), to establish a Framework Agreement to help deliver works of this nature.
