8.2 The Home Plus Leeds service is funded by the Council to enable and maintain independent living through improving health at home, helping to prevent falls and cold related health conditions. The falls prevention element of the service is available for anyone over the age of 18yrs who is at risk of falls or has previously fallen in the home, providing interventions such as the fitting of grab rails and stair rails. This is a free service for home owners and people in private rented properties (with the permission of the landlord). The warmth and repairs element of the service is for owner-occupiers with a household income of less than £21,000, and savings of less than £16,000, who is over the age of 65, or expecting or have dependent children up to 18yrs living in the same property or has a disability or long-term health condition. People can get help with servicing and repairs to heating and hot water systems, draught proofing and insulation measures and help changing to the cheapest energy deal. There is also some financial assistance towards essential repairs that may be causing a hazard to health, such as plumbing or electrical issues.
