Scottish Housing Day took place this week and the focus on ‘homes for life’ – the difference that adapted and accessible homes can make for tenants as they grow older or develop disabilities. It was the perfect opportunity to not only reflect on the work we’ve done to change lives through providing accessible homes, but also to raise awareness of the challenges and hurdles that still exist in helping change even more lives.
Two of our tenants, Marion and Helen, kindly gave us their stories, highlighting how difficult it can be living in an unsuitable property, and how much their accessible Hillcrest home has improved their independence, mental health and general wellbeing.
