There is a considerable range of equipment available, designed to help older people and those with disabilities and sensory impairments. Equipment ranges from that which is designed to ease daily routines to sophisticated devices that enables people with severe disabilities to achieve a degree of independence that may have not otherwise seemed possible.
The availalbility of equipment depends upon how easy it is to access an appropriate supplier or a specific device. There are several specialist equipment providers as well as in Bexley Inspire's Living Solutions Service. Living Solutions is a relatively new service based in Bexley.
The service is expanding and in time will provide comprehensive advice and a range of equipment for sale that will meet a wide range of needs for those in the community. The added advantage of having such a fantastic local resource will be the ability to try and experiment with equipment in order to assist the right choice. Rapid supply will deliver requirements in a timely manner immediately the need is recognised and assessed.
