Thanks to Cambs HIA this client was able to have two essential adaptations installed — saving them just over £12,500:

If you use a mobility aid, a little planning can make a big difference. Keep exits clear, alarms working for your needs, mobility aids within reach, and have an escape plan you’ve shared with someone you trust.
Your safety matters. Preparation saves lives.
