Stay home. Stay independent.
If you, your parent, or someone you care for is finding parts of home harder than they used to be — we can help. A home visit, an honest conversation, and a clear plan. No pressure, no sales pitch.

We’re a Bristol-based charity and Home Improvement Agency. For nearly 40 years we’ve helped older and disabled people live safely and well in their own homes across the South West.
You don’t need a referral. You don’t need to know what you’re looking for. You don’t need to be ‘bad enough’ yet. If something at home isn’t working — call us, and we’ll start with a conversation.
Survey, recommend, install — often within a few weeks of funding approval. Use the whole house again.
Level-access showers, non-slip floors, and grab rails where they actually help. The most common adaptation we install.
Threshold ramps for small steps; modular ramps for bigger ones. Handrails fitted where needed.
Insulation, draught-proofing, and access to grant-funded warm-homes programmes including the BNES Affordable Warmth Grant.
Lightbulbs, sticking doors, curtain rails, dripping taps — a single visit, a fair price, the whole list done.
Making Space is a confidential support service for people whose homes have become hard to manage. No clipboards, no rush, no judgment.
In 2024, the National Healthy Housing Awards named We Care Home Improvements the best Home Improvement Agency in England. The work is funded by councils, the NHS, and grants — so for many people we help, it’s free at the point of use.
Stairlifts, level-access showers, through-floor lifts, widened doorways.
Major adaptations

Bathroom adaptations
Lowered worktops, pull-out shelving, lever taps, accessible appliances.

Getting in and out of your home without the steps becoming a barrier.

Warm homes
Small jobs that make a big difference — lightbulbs, doors, rails, minor plumbing.
Handy jobsA home visit is free and there’s no obligation to proceed. We listen first, then tell you what’s realistic — what would help, what it would cost (if anything), and how long it would take.
[TBC: pull a real individual client testimonial — confirm before use.] They came to look at the bathroom and within a few weeks the whole thing was done. The team were lovely, the work was tidy, and I can finally have a shower without worrying I'm going to fall.
[TBC: pull a family-member testimonial — confirm before use.] My mum had been worrying about the stairs for two years. WECR came round, didn't pressure her, and a few months later there was a stairlift in. She's using the whole house again.
