For nearly 40 years, We Care Home Improvements has helped older and vulnerable people across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and the wider South West live well in their own homes. From a grab rail to a full bathroom adaptation, from a draught-proofed window to a step-free entrance — we make the changes that make staying home possible.
Stairlifts, level-access showers, through-floor lifts, widened doorways. The bigger changes that keep your home liveable as your needs change.
Major adaptations
Wet rooms, walk-in showers, grab rails, raised toilet seats. Bathrooms designed around how you actually need to use them.
Bathroom adaptations
Lowered worktops, pull-out shelving, lever taps, accessible appliances. Kitchens that stay usable as mobility changes.
Kitchen adaptations
Threshold ramps, modular ramp systems, handrails. Getting in and out of your home without the steps becoming a barrier.
Ramp installation
Insulation, draught-proofing, heating advice. A warm home is a safe home — especially in winter, especially in later life.
Warm homes
Small jobs that make a big difference: changing a lightbulb safely, fixing a sticking door, putting up a curtain rail. The kind of help that’s hard to find when you live alone.
Handy jobs
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.
For individualsWe work with councils and housing associations across the South West to deliver Disabled Facilities Grants, accessible adaptations, and warm-home programmes. Trusted by Bristol, Gloucestershire, and Bath & NE Somerset.
For local authoritiesHospital discharge support, fast-track home assessments, and adaptations that reduce readmission risk. We partner with NHS Bristol ICB and community healthcare teams across the region.
For healthcare partnersIn 2024, the National Healthy Housing Awards named WECR the best Home Improvement Agency in England. The reason: we don’t just install equipment — we sit down with people, understand what’s actually hard about home, and design solutions that fit the life they want to keep living.
That work is funded in part by councils, the NHS, and grant programmes — so for many of the people we help, our service is free at the point of use.
[TBC: pull a real client testimonial from the live site or recent feedback. Placeholder reads like the kind of thing clients say — 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: real partner quote needed.] We’ve worked with WECR for years on DFG-funded adaptations. They’re responsive, professional, and they understand the difference between a job done and a job done well. We don’t have to chase them — and that matters when you’re managing a caseload.
We’re a registered charity and Home Improvement Agency based in the South West. Since 1986, we’ve worked with older adults, disabled people, families, councils, housing associations, and the NHS to make homes work for the people who live in them. Our team of caseworkers, technical officers, and skilled tradespeople know this region — and know how to navigate the funding, the paperwork, and the practicalities.
