Jordan is a 15 year old girl. She has complex health needs that impact her day to day life. Jordan requires 24 hour care to ensure her needs are met.
Jordan is continuing to grow and develop, and has got to the stage now where she has grown so much she has out-grown her current through-floor lift and bedroom. To enable her to have a bigger lift, she needs to have her bedroom extended to make sure there is the space.
Jordan currently has a shower bench in her wet room, which is no longer suitable because it has become too difficult to manage her personal hygiene on the shower bench and Jordan does not particularly like it. She now needs a bath which is more suitable for her needs and she will have the opportunity to enjoy relaxing. Having a bath will be safer and easier for family members and carers to support Jordan's personal care.
The adaptations will significantly benefit Jordan as she will be able to continue to use her bedroom. Jordan enjoys spending time in her room, relaxing and stretching out on her bed. As she is still growing her wheelchairs are only going to get bigger and her current lift is not going to be suitable to meet her needs.
The Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) will only fund a maximum of £30,000 towards this project, all together we expect the project to cost over £85,000.
We are funding for an extension on her bedroom, a new bath, a new larger lift and new hoisting equipment.
