Assistive equipment
Information on useful aids that will help you to remain safe and independent at home, such as grab rails, perching stools, kettle pourers etc. and the options available to you for hiring or purchasing these items.
Sometimes, small adjustments to the home are all that’s needed to support continued independent living; for example, grab rails in the bathroom, a ramp at the door or gadgets to help in the kitchen. With dedicated staff to deliver and install equipment, Wellbeing Lincs provides small aids and can make the necessary minor alterations where required. Customers can be assessed for suitable small aids, which are available to purchase through our service or independently. Assessment and installation is free, with no obligation, and equipment is provided at cost.
