- Lending of equipment (keep it as long as you need)
- Recommendations for minor and major home changes, such as grab rails, stairlifts, ramps, and accessible kitchen units
- Support to move around your home, use stairs, wash, dress, use the toilet, get in/out of bed or chairs, and prepare food
- Advice or referrals to other agencies if needed
How it works:
- Request an assessment online or via phone
- We’ll contact you within 10 working days to discuss your needs
- A home visit may be arranged for a full assessment
- We’ll recommend solutions and may lend you equipment
Cost: Assessments and equipment we lend are free of charge. Minor adaptations are free; for major changes, you may be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant.
