Health, Housing & Social Care – Carers Suzanne Coates Head of Service Development Carers’ Support – Canterbury, Dover & Thanet

Carers UK - Caring Homes Report, 2016 95% UK Properties not accessible Homes not always suitable for adaptations Disabled Facilities Grants – means tested Landlords sometimes withhold approval Moving often not an option Lack of availability of housing

Nearly 10% of Carers said that their home was in poor condition, from damp or disrepair, rising to 15% in the private rented sector Damp, unfit and cold housing exacerbates or increases risk of a range of health problems and hazards in the home. Fuel poverty – costs increased by damp or disrepair

13% of carers said that as a result of caring there isn’t enough space to live comfortably 15% of carers said that there isn’t enough space for others to stay to provide support that they need (e.g. overnight care workers, family members who help with caring)

Fuel Poverty - higher utility bills as a cost of caring, further increased when living with the person they care for Home ownership Issues pressure on Carers to continue to work to meet mortgage payments Limited financial support with mortgage payments if unable to work Risk of loss of home if cared for needs residential care Delayed implementation of care cap forcing sale of property to cover care costs Social Housing Issues: Bedroom tax Lack of security with tenancies increases stress/anxiety

How do we support Carers? Information, support and advocacy relating to entitlements and rights: e.g. welfare benefits, Council Tax reductions, Disabled facilities grants, housing options Assistance with applying for benefits, grants (inc charitable grants), applications for social housing etc Referrals for adaptations (occupational therapy, Home Improvement Agencies), handyman services, fire safety service etc Information and support to access energy efficiency schemes, energy grants, Carer’s Needs Assessments Emotional Support
