Released  15 October 2009

East Dorset District Council - Strategic housing services inspection

Rating: Poor service | Poor prospects for improvement

Adaptations to help older and disabled people remain in their own homes are completed quickly. The Council deals with all requests for adaptations when as soon as they are received and there is no waiting list. The Council works well with its partners to deliver adaptations quickly for example, by carrying out minor adaptations following assessments from the independent living centre for without the need for home visits. Housing associations also play their part by funding minor work.
