Bridgend Independent Living & Safety Adaptations
This initiative funds the rapid installation of minor and major home adaptations for elderly tenants across Bridgend. By fitting grab rails, level-access ramps, wet rooms, and smart safety sensors, we dramatically reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Delivered via our repairs subsidiary Llanw, this project supports independent living, accelerates hospital discharge rates, and provides peace of mind to vulnerable residents and their families.
Vulnerable, elderly tenants aged 65 and over living across social housing properties in Bridgend borough. Many live alone, experience declining mobility, and require physical modifications to their homes to prevent falls and remain independent.
