Physical Disability
We can offer help and support to enable people with disabilities carry out everyday activities more safely and easily in their own home. We do this by making an assessment and drawing up a plan, which may include:
- Suggesting alternative ways of completing an activity
- Arranging the loan of special equipment for physical or sensory disability
- Recommending and arranging funding for minor building adaptations
- Recommending a Disabled Facilities Grant for major alterations to the layout of your home
- Advising on building alteration and the purchase of equipment
- Social Work support and other services such as Homecare, Respite Care or a Day Centre
We also have specialist workers in the teams who can communicate with people who have a sensory disability.
You can contact us by phone, letter or by visiting the nearest office to your home.
There is a range of services that can assist you to maintain or regain your independence.
