Research shows how adapted homes can save health and care services money

In a LocalGov article by Douglas Stem, development manager at Foundations (the national body for home improvement agencies), has revealed that people who do need to move into residential care having previously adapted their home with the help of a DFG have delayed the move by four years on average compared with those who haven’t had a DFG. At around £29,000 per year for a residential care placement, this can be a significant saving.
