One of our team will ask you some questions to find out how we can help.
If you are eligible for support, you will be added to a waiting list - how long you will have to wait depends on how urgent your need is and how many other people are waiting.
One of our team will arrange a time to come and visit you at home. If they think that an adaptation to your house or some equipment could help you, they will talk you through the next steps.
You should be given as much choice as possible about your preferred solution as long as it is feasible, does not add to the cost and meets the outcomes identified by our assessment.
