Well Homes
Thurrock Well Homes is a scheme to improve the housing conditions and the health and well-being of residents living in private properties.
The Well Homes scheme:
- offers help to make homes safer by reducing the risk of ill health or accidents – for example, unsafe stairs or wiring, or providing improvements to your heating system
- puts residents in touch with health and lifestyle services that can improve quality of life – for example, help to stop smoking, health checks, debt advice, housing adaptations

Well Homes advisers always carry an identification badge
The adviser will help you with a short survey about your health, home and well-being. They will note your answers on a computer so they can be shared with services that offer health support or property improvements you might need. Surveys take an average of 20 minutes to complete.
The adviser will also chat with you to find out what other help and advice they can offer, and whether your safety and well-being can be improved by dealing with any housing hazards. You should show the adviser if there is a problem you are concerned about.
