Equipment and Adaptations
Making it easier to live independently and remain in control of your own life
Our Offer
Having the right equipment at home can make life much easier for you day to day.
If you or a member of your family are having difficulty getting around your home due to a physical disability, sensory impairment or old age, you can request an assessment for equipment and adaptations to make it easier for you to live independently.
Our support
MioCare Group – supporting people to get the most out of life
Our dedicated team can arrange for an assessment, in order to get a clearer picture of the difficulties that you or a member of your family are having (e.g. bathing, climbing stairs, or transferring from a chair to a bed). The assessment team can guide you on the best equipment for your needs and inform you about other available services.

What our community is saying
“Please may I take this opportunity of thanking all those involved in organising and installing the ramp and door for my Mum. I’m so grateful that I can now take her out for her Day Care session, and that she will be able to sit in the garden and enjoy fresh air and sunshine. You all make an amazing, well-organised and excellent service. Well done and thank you again!”
