Grants For Mobility Bathrooms

Are you seeking help regarding obtaining grants for mobility bathrooms? If so, the team at Irish Stairlifts may be able to assist. As a business, we are one of Ireland’s highest-rated suppliers for disability and mobility aid products thanks to our vast product range from known and reputable brands. That being said, one of our main services is centred around carrying out adaptations within your home that are centred around making life easier and more accessible for those with disabilities.

Here at Irish Stairlifts, we recognise that not everyone can afford specific home adaptations that they require due to financial difficulties, which is where one of our grants for mobility bathrooms can assist. We work closely with the Disabled Persons Grant Scheme so that we can create the application as simple as possible so that those who urgently require financial assistance can obtain the funds they need. To apply you need to fall within a range of particular parameters including household income so that you are not receiving funds that you don’t deserve.

If accepted for one of the grants for mobility bathrooms, then you could be entitled up to €6,000, which should cover up to 95% of the costs of works. That being said, there are also limitations with the types of work that are allowed under the scheme, though the main work includes the provision of access ramps, stairlifts, downstairs toilet facilities, accessible showers and required extensions. Before you apply, it may be worth getting in contact with our team in order to discuss the intended works so that we can be certain your application will be accepted first-time.

Customers will also be pleased to hear that we specialise in home mobility adaptations, where we have multiple solutions for bathrooms possible. Just a few of the most notable adaptations include wetrooms, level tray enclosures and level access showers, ideal for those that have difficulties with slippery surfaces. If you are interested in viewing some of these products in person, then we recommend visiting our showroom where you can also meet and speak to our team about your own requirements.

If you have any questions about our grants for mobility bathrooms, please give Irish Stairlifts a call today on 1850 88 5000. Our customer service team will be more than happy to confer about your specific requirements, where we can provide additional information where applicable. Alternatively, we are also available via email at showroom@irishstairlifts.ie, where they can expect a reply within a single working day.

Wheelchair Ramps

Welcome to Irish Stairlifts, Ireland’s market leaders for mobility products including wheelchair ramps, stair lifts, mobility scooters and home adaptation solutions. As a business, we take great pride as a business on having excellent product knowledge, meaning we can provide accurate, honest and reliable information to clients. Our customer service levels are considered outstanding due to our team’s ability to carefully listen and meet all customer specific needs and requirements.

Here at Irish Stairlifts, all of our wheelchair ramps are unique and individual, though this is because we recognise that every client’s environment and preference is different. To begin the installation, our team will visit your location to carry out research in order to gain the needed measurements for the required work. One of the most important factors we consider is health and safety, which is why we also make sure all ramps include a level turning platform at the top, as well as ensuring the fall is not too steep.

When we install the ramp, we will use a brush finished concrete mix, which will then be anti-slip and wheelchair friendly. In addition to the ramp itself, our team will then install rails and edgings to run on the open sides for safety and practicality. These will be made with steel and then coated in an anti-rust paint and the colour of your choice, meaning it can fit within the existing colour plan of your home. If you are interested in viewing some of our previous work, be sure to head over to our gallery when you have the chance.

Wheelchairs ramps aren’t the only home adaptation solution that we work on, as we also have the expertise to work on solutions within your home.

Do you qualify for a grant or extra support?

If you have a disability or reduced mobility, it can seem obvious that life may need some alterations. This can be items that you use, new furniture for your home, or your living areas may need to be adapted. There is a huge range of items and functions that can assist and make life a little easier. It seems pretty straight forward, right? Not always.

Quite often we have customers who require aids or adaptions that we can provide. However, some customers are going without simply because they feel it might not be available to them in their particular circumstances. We have a number of options and suggestions available, which may help.

Firstly, always talk to us about the range of products we offer and if a reconditioned piece of equipment might be an option.

Secondly, use the following information and contacts to enquire about grants that can assist. A lot of customers are unaware of the support that is potentially available, which could make positive changes much more attainable. If you have a family member who could benefit from home aid assistance it might be worth sitting down and going over these options.

The following schemes are available through your local authority. They should help you assess and decide what scheme best suits your circumstances.

The Mobility Aids Grant Scheme
This scheme provides grants for works designed to address mobility problems in the home, such as the purchase and installation of grab-rails, a level access shower, access ramps or a stair-lift.

If you require more extensive works to be done, or if you do not qualify under the means test for the Mobility Aids Grant Scheme, you can apply for the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability instead.

The third option is The Housing Aid for Older People Scheme, which is used to improve the condition of an older person’s home. In general, it is aimed at people 66 years of age and older, who are living in poor housing conditions. However, in cases of genuine hardship the local authority may assist people under age 66.

Another option to consider is VAT Refunds.

You may get a refund of Value-Added Tax (VAT) on certain special aids and appliances that you need. This scheme of VAT refunds on aids and appliances can also apply to adaptation and installation work being carried out to make a home more suitable for an older person or for a person with a disability

Lastly please don’t forget to check in with your private health insurance or the HSE (issuer of medical card). Both have the potential to help cover the provision of aids and appliances necessary to assist you with your daily living.

There is a variety of assistance available and because we have customers from all over Ireland the best way to access these schemes is by calling Citizens information and mentioning the above grant/support and your local area, this will allow them to give you the local authority who can assess this for you. Citizens Information can be reached on 0761 07 4000 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm) or you can visit your local Citizens Information Centre.

Our aim has always been to enable customers to live the best life they possibly can. We will always advocate for assistance in achieving that goal. If you come across any other local or national assistance programmes we would love to hear from you. Sharing this kind of information can have huge benefits for our community.
