Equipment and adaptations to the home

If you have a disability or are finding it difficult to access or move around your home, you may be entitled to equipment to assist with day to day activities or an adaptation to your home.

We may be able to help you if you

• have a disability
• or have a long term illness which causes you to have difficulties coping with daily living tasks

Assessment

Once you or your representative have contacted us by phone or completed a Request for Support Form on the website, we will triage your request.

We may contact you if we need to gather more information about your needs. If we deem your needs as urgent, we will aim to assess you within 10 working days.

We will place standard referrals on our waiting lists. We aim to contact you within 3 months to complete your assessment, but the wait may be slightly longer due to the high volume of referrals we are receiving. We are working hard to reduce the waiting time.

Help we can offer

We can advise on suitable equipment for you or adaptations for your home that will support you in retaining your independence at home.

Everyone’s needs are different, so the services offered to each individual will be different. Together we’ll find the solutions to enable you to access facilities, move around your home and to assist you with day to day activities.
