The main idea behind the service is to help people make their homes safe, accessible and comfortable. Specialists assess what changes are needed and provide professional recommendations, from a list of adaptations to technical solutions. Based on the assessment, an individual plan is drawn up, specifying the scope and duration of the service. This service can be provided by legal entities or sole proprietors listed in the Register of Social Service Providers.
To receive a consultation, it is sufficient to submit a written or electronic application to the authorised body at the place of residence. During a period of martial law or a state of emergency, applications are also accepted at the person’s actual place of residence.
The introduction of the new standard promotes the development of inclusive solutions in communities and makes state support more accessible to those who need to adapt their homes for a comfortable and independent life.
