Services we provide
We provide equipment from simple aids to more complex items enabling adults and children to stay in their home environment. The equipment is designed to promote independence, safety and mobility; and also supplied to health and social care practitioners to support their work in the community.
You might need community equipment:
- to make going home easier after a hospital stay or major operation
- to prevent admission to hospital or into residential care
- to prevent falls and accidents
- as an essential part of health and rehabilitation services
- to help carers provide the necessary care.
