To get started visit our website HERE. Select a topic of interest eg "getting on and off the toilet" or "gardening". Answer some simple questions. AskSara will generate a personalised report including advice and directing you to items of equipment that may help you at home. This links to a national database of equipment items which you can browse or purchase using the links provided.
Some people choose to purchase items on line, but you can browse with no obligation or use the information and visit one of the local mobility shops eg Mobility Solutions or Able- Aid. If you decide to buy any of the items of equipment listed in this report yourself, you should read the instructions for use very carefully. If you are in any doubt, seek further advice from the equipment supplier.
