Daily living assistance equipment

Installing assistance equipment, or making adaptations to your home can be effective means of supporting you to live safely and independently at home. 

This could include: 

  • using daily living aids to support with everyday tasks such as preparing meals and hot drinks, getting dressed yourself and moving around safely within your home.  
  • using equipment like shower grab rails or commodes to support with washing and going to the toilet 
  • adapting your home by widening doors or installing a ramp

Our Occupational Therapy team can provide advice and assistance on a wide range of equipment and adaptations available to support you.
