Important update about community equipment provider NRS Healthcare

Community care equipment services continue as normal. We will provide an update when a new provider takes over.

We are in the process of switching from our current community equipment provider, NRS Healthcare, to a new supplier. The community equipment service provides items like walking sticks, bath boards, toilet frames, commodes, pressure mattresses, hoists and bed rails.

We will be contacting residents who have equipment at home to let them know directly about new arrangements. Until then, the council's arrangements with our existing provider (NRS Healthcare) are still in place and you can still call the NRS Healthcare number on your equipment if you need anything.

Adapting your home

Find out how to ask for equipment or changes to your home if you have a permanent or substantial disability so you can live without needing help.

If you or a member of your household have a permanent or substantial disability, you may be able to ask for equipment or changes to your home so you can live every day without needing help.

Adaptations can mean simple things like grab rails or more complex changes like a level access shower.

If you think some support, advice, equipment or an adaptation would improve your day-to-day living, you can:

  • contact us for advice about other ways to carry out tasks, with or without special equipment or adaptations
  • ask for support for you or a member of your household
  • fill in an online form to ask for an assessment.

Ask for help for you or someone else

Fill in this form if you would like to ask for an Occupational Therapy assessment for equipment or an adaptation to a home.
