Disability aids is a
term used to cover a multitude of aids for the older person for use
in and around a house and for extra mobility outside a house.
Disability aids can be provided following an NHS assessment
which will help to determine which equipment and adaptations are
required to meet the older person's individual needs - be that
walking aids, wheelchairs or simple grab rails. The assessment will
also recommend the source of equipment/adaptations required.
Installation of equipment and training in its use should be overseen
by the Occupational Therapist. Many disability aids can be purchased
independently.
