Supporting the independence of adults with physical disabilities

We work in partnership with other organisations to provide a range of services to help and support adults with physical disabilities, along with the people who provide care for them. We aim to help those who use our services to live a fulfilling, independent life in their community

We can help with things like:

• provision of equipment and home alterations that will help with every day tasks.
• Home Care which provides personal care and assistance with independent living.
• support from our Rehabilitation Teams to help you to return home safely following a stay in hospital or to learn or relearn basic living skills.
• providing disabled car badges, to help with parking
• Meals on Wheels which is available to people over the age of 60 who would find it difficult to make themselves a cooked lunch,  and also people under the age of 60 who have been assessed as needing this service because of a disability or illness
• Carelink, an alarm system that can provide the necessary support or help at the touch of a button.
• the Telecare service that uses electronic monitors to ensure that service users are safe in their home environment
• providing advice about moving into a care home or special needs housingif the problems of living at home are too difficult to overcome.if the problems of living at home are too difficult to overcome.
