We work with the NHS to provide equipment that helps people stay independent in their own homes. There are different sorts of equipment available, such as:
- moving and handling equipment, including hoists and transfer aids like boards, sheets and slings to help carers move a person
- walking aids
- bathing aids
- pressure relieving equipment such as mattresses and cushions
- adjustable beds which can be raised and lowered.

You may need to make changes to your home to make it easier for you to get around and manage your everyday life. For instance, you might need:
- a ramp fitted for a wheelchair
- grab rails
- a sensor, monitor or alarm put in so you can alert people if you are unable to get to a phone.

If you need equipment

Please get in touch with your district nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, case manager or a qualified assessor. They are the only people who can request it for you.

The equipment will be delivered directly to the home of the person who needs it.

If you need changes to your home

We look at everyone's situation individually by giving you a needs assessment (also known as a community care assessment) and will tell you what we can do to help you adapt your home. Our technicians also work with occupational therapists where necessary to make sure any adaptations are suitable for you.
