Market Consultation: Handyperson and Home Improvement Agency Service

Overview

The handyperson service is a preventative service that aims to demonstrate positive impacts on people’s health and well-being, quality of life, maintaining a sense of well-being and safety and security.

The service will reduce risks to people’s independence, preventing them from having to access more expensive and less independent forms of residential accommodation/ hospitals. It also helps to support unpaid carers to maintain their caring role.

The Home Improvement Agency (HIA) service will provide information and advice around a wide range of issues and will enable residents to have support with home adaptations including those which enable independent living and the ability to live in a safe, warm environment.
