As part of our partnership with Powys County Council , our Caseworker Emma and Minor Adaptations Officer Alan have received some lovely feedback this week — and we couldn’t be prouder!

This client was referred to us through the Prevention Assessment Service, where Emma carried out a Healthy Home Check. During the visit, she identified potential fire and carbon monoxide hazards, as well as risks of falls both inside the home and in the garden.

Taking a compassionate and empathetic approach, Emma helped the client access the support they needed to reduce these risks and make their home safer. She identified a missing component of pension credit, enabling them to claim an extra £48.15 per week, and she also referred them for a falls alarm, giving extra peace of mind.

Alan then fitted essential minor adaptations to help the client move around their home more safely, increasing their confidence and independence in their own space.

👏 A huge well done to Emma and Alan! This is a fantastic example of teamwork in action, showing how the right support and small changes can make a real difference to someone's safety, wellbeing and quality of life.

If you would like support, please ring us on 01686620760.

Last Friday, Rachael Owen (Agency Manager) and Debbie Brooks (Casework & Service Manager) met with Sioned Williams MS, alongside colleagues from Care & Repair Western Bay, at their Swansea offices.

We had an insightful discussion about the difference Care & Repair services make every day helping older people remain independent in safe, warm homes.

It was encouraging to share the impact of our work and highlight the significant contribution our services make in preventing needs from escalating and easing pressure on statutory services.

🌟 Feedback Friday 🌟

Sometimes, a smaller adaptation can make a huge difference to someone’s life.

With support from our Caseworker, Sarah, Mr P was able to secure grant funding for a straight stairlift. This simple but life-changing adaptation has given him safe access to his upstairs again — meaning he can now shower independently and safely.

More than just improving access, the stairlift has helped turn his house into a home again. 🏡

Mr P can feel confident moving around his own home, regain his independence and, most importantly, reclaim a sense of dignity and control in everyday life.

This is exactly why we do what we do. 💚

Today, we’re recognising International Day of Older People - a day to celebrate the contribution, experiences and achievements of older people, while recognising the challenges that can come with ageing.

At Care & Repair in Powys, we believe that everyone should be able to feel safe, warm and confident in their own home, whatever their age.

We support older people across Powys with practical help to make their homes safer and more suitable for their needs. From minor adaptations to reduce the risk of falls, to free Healthy Home Checks advising how to make homes warmer, safer and more accessible, our support can make a real difference to everyday life.

🏡 A safe home can mean greater independence and confidence.
🔧 A small, free adaptation, such as grabrail or half step, can prevent a bigger problem such as hospital admission.
💙 The right support can give someone confidence to remain living at home.

For many older people, being able to stay safely and independently in their own home is incredibly important. That’s why the work we do matters — helping people maintain their independence and their quality of life.

Some of the things we can fit for free:
💚 A keysafe so that people can feel safer and more confident if access is needed to their home for caring or emergency reasons.
💚 Grabrails beside toilets/showers to maintain dignity and confidence.
💚 Mopstick rail on stairs to reduce falls.
💚 Half steps to reduce the depth of steps and allow people to access their garden again for wellbeing
💚 A home visit by a caseworker to advise on ways to limit falls and keep your home safe.

This National Older People’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate the older people of Powys and the valuable contribution they make to our communities.

Here’s to ageing well, living independently and feeling at home. 💙
