Smaller Adaptations

Many people find that they need extra assistance to undertake everyday tasks.  A rail to hold onto as you climb the front doorstep or negotiate the garden path can be immensely useful to some older or disabled people.

We can supply and fit parts to raise the height of chairs and beds for those who have difficulty rising from low furniture.  Sometimes a doorstep may be replaced with a ramp for a wheelchair.  In fact, rails, raisers and similar equipment can be installed in all kinds of places.

Many people who require these adaptations are referred to us by hospitals or by the social services and depending on your circumstances, the installations are often free of charge.

If you think that you could benefit from any of this assistance, call the Gloucestershire Social Services Adult Helpdesk on 01452 426868.  If you would rather an installation was done privately, call us on 01453 753471.

Helping older and disabled people remain independent in a warm safe home adapted to their needs
