Equipment for everyday living
For many disabled people, having the right equipment can be crucial to independent living. It can also make all the difference to those who care for disabled people. We can provide specialist equipment to help people with physical disabilities.
Some equipment is only available following an assessment by an occupational
therapist. You may request some emergency equipment through your GP or district
nurse. In that situation we aim to deliver it within 24 hours.
Many items of disability equipment are available free on long-term loan to
people who are eligible. A wide variety of household equipment and aids is
available, including mobility aids, grab rails, large button telephones, kettle
tippers and tap turners in the kitchen, bath seats and raised toilet seats in
the bathroom and much more.
The items supplied can make it easier and safer to deal with everyday tasks
such as preparing food or managing your personal care. Simple alterations or
adaptations can also be arranged, such as repositioning electrical sockets or
fixing handrails. The type of equipment or adaptation provided will depend on
your situation.
