Living safely at home

For many people moving safely around their home is an ongoing problem and accidents like falls can have serious consequences. These problems can be due to illness, sight or hearing loss, a physical or learning disability or just growing older and finding it harder to move around.

equipment to help you

There is a wide range of helpful equipment and minor adaptations available that are easily and inexpensively fitted to help you to stay living independently in your own home.

major equipment and adaptations

If minor equipment or adaptations are insufficient, the fitting of major adaptations, such as stair lifts and access ramps, can assist you to remain living independently in your own home.

help with walking

If you are finding it difficult to walk around inside your home there are a number of walking aids available. This could be a walking stick or frame, or maybe a wheelchair.

assistive technology

For older and more vulnerable people living on their own, alarms or detectors in the home are a great way of making contact with someone in an emergency.
