Equipment for your home

If you have problems completing daily living activities safely and independently, there are many different types of specially designed equipment to make looking after yourself easier.

 

Simple equipment

For independent advice about daily living and mobility aids you can contact the Disabled Living Foundation (DLF). The DLF is a national charity. Locally you can contact the Hillingdon Advice Partnership on 020 8044 5676 or visit their website.

How do I obtain equipment?

Use the self assessment tools available on Living Made Easy to see if you would benefit from equipment in your home.

You can also:

  • request an assessment and if you are eligible to receive equipment you will receive a loan of equipment from Medequip, our new community equipment provider.

If you think you or someone you care for would benefit from home monitoring, read about our TeleCareLine service.
