Our Home Improvement Agency is dedicated to helping older, disabled and vulnerable residents within Oxford City to live safely and independently in their own home.
The agency service is available to people who are vulnerable and need help repairing, maintaining or adapting their home. HIA trained advisers are on hand to help you with all sorts of problems that might affect your home.
Our Housing Assistance and Disabled Adaptations Policy covers all the help we can offer.
Other sources of help
Housing Options for Older People (HOOP)
Housing Options for Older People (HOOP) is a technique for appraising your current housing and options for moving and will help you identify what information you need, and help you find it. It may also make you aware that some advice or other help would be welcome, and if so, will guide you to the most appropriate agency to provide this. Visit the HOOP website.
Falls assessment
If you have recently fallen a couple of times or more, Oxfordshire's Falls Prevention Team offers a one-off appointment for a falls assessment. This free service entails detailed information on medical history, bone health, blood pressure, medication intake, home hazard assessment, assessment on how you manage everyday activities and can offer help and support to reduce falls. For more information vist the Oxfordshire Falls Prevention Service website or contact the Falls Team for an assessment on 01865 903750 (7 days a week - 8am to 8pm).
