We asked respondents if there was anyone within the household who needed help or support with a range of daily tasks. Again, a small number indicated that there was. The most common things people needed help or support with were cooking and cleaning.

Again the Asian/Asian British respondents were least likely to indicate that there was anyone needing support, with only one respondent suggesting that someone in their household needed help with daily tasks.

We also asked how much help these household members needed with these daily tasks, ranging from a little help to being unable to do them without help. Cooking was the task where people felt most help or support was needed, this was followed by shopping. A small number of respondents did not know what level of help or support was needed.

When asked what type of support they currently receive for these tasks, the following specific responses were given: ‘live-in carer’, ‘council give support - they put a chair lift in’, ‘school, social worker’, and ‘support from the CPN [community psychiatric nurse]’. In terms of who provides the support, ten people indicated that they were the full-time carer, six people said that someone else within their household provided the care, five people indicated that a mixture of family and outside agencies provided care, while two people stated that care was provided entirely by outside agencies. When asked whether they thought the support they received so far met their needs, two people said it did not. When asked to elaborate on why they felt this way the following responses were given:

‘Because I think Autistic children need help all the time to be active’ ‘There are limited child caring facilities’

Interestingly, the care needs often related to children rather than care of older people. This could reflect the younger age range of the survey sample. Of those who were providing a caring role themselves, eight people indicated that they needed support in this role. When asked to elaborate on what type of support was required, the following responses were given: ‘respite’, ‘to ensure that the child is cared for round the clock’. One respondent indicated that they needed ‘more communication’, but unfortunately did not elaborate on what type of communication and whether this related to communication with service providers.

9.3 Adaptations to accommodation

We also asked respondents to indicate what adaptations had been made to their accommodation and what adaptations they felt were needed. The most common facility people currently had was a downstairs toilet (23% of respondents), followed by a handrail on stairs (13%) and a walk-in shower or accessible bath (10%).

With regards to facilities that people did not currently have but felt they needed, this included – in order of frequency – a walk-in shower or accessible bath, a bathroom grab rail, a stair lift and access ramps outside the home (for the full list see Table 71 below). Looking at the tenure of those who required adaptations to their accommodation, the majority were currently living in the private rented sector. Only a small number (one or two) were living in socially rented accommodation.

When asked if there were any other facilities that people needed, only three people made reference to additional facilities. However, none of these suggestions were health related adaptations, with two respondents making reference to wanting parking facilities while the other respondent wanted a garden for the children to play in. Indeed, one respondent commented that they were not aware of any of the things that were listed.

We asked respondents if they needed any support to identify or carry out adaptations to their current home; eight respondents indicated that they did. These respondents came from a range of ethnic groups. Four of these respondents were living in Poole. The remainder lived in West Dorset; Weymouth and Portland; Purbeck; and Christchurch. When asked where they would go for advice the responses given, in order of frequency, were: the council, their GP, the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) or Social Services. Three respondents stated that they did not know where to go to get advice on identifying or carrying out adaptations to their current home.
