| Annotation | This book is about equipment and home adaptations which assist people with physical and sensory disabilities to overcome difficulties with everyday living, and to make life easier. It explains what equipment is available, how it is available, the legal basis for provision, and what can be done when things go wrong. A wide range of items is covered, from alarms to artificial limbs, baths to bedrooms, chopping boards to crutches, electronic toothbrushes to environmental controls, hearing aids to hoists, incontinence pads to ironing equipment, rails to ramps, speech aids to stairlifts, and walking frames to wheelchairs. Provision of equipment or adaptations by social services department, the NHS, in residential and nursing homes, by housing authorities, workplaces, and for war pensioners are discussed. |
