Description

The new Dorset Accessible Home Service (DAHS) will enable vulnerable older and disabled individuals and disabled children to maintain their independence, health, and well-being for as long as possible in their homes and community. Dorset Council funds the core service. The Disabled Facilities Grant funding comes from the Better Care Fund with some added funding provided by Dorset Universities NHS Foundation Trusts to fund minor adaptations to facilitate hospital discharges.

The DAHS service will form the heart of our services for Dorset Council. The aim is to promote independence and prevent the need to support individuals from requiring statutory support services. The strong relationships built with Service Providers enable innovation and creative working to aid in the completion of our strategic aims.
