It is required to provide a service for children and adults with physical and/or learning disabilities, long term conditions or mental health problems. Additionally many older people who do not see themselves as disabled but may be frail can also benefit from these services. The service could be said to provide equipment to assist with home care or to assist with a programme of rehabilitation or to assist with independent living of people within the community. Therefore the broad range of community equipment services to be covered by the service includes short and long term loan of:- - Equipment for daily living, such as shower chairs and stools, bath lifts and raised toilet seats; - Home nursing equipment such as pressure relief mattresses and commodes; - Children’s equipment; - Sensory equipment; - Communication aids; - Specialist equipment; - Minor adaptations.
