Help at home
If your age or disability is making it difficult for you to manage at home, you may be surprised to learn about the wide range of equipment and adaptations which are available to help you carry out daily tasks.
There is a wide range of equipment designed to help you stay living as independently as possible in your own home, whether you need support when climbing the stairs, taking a bath, getting dressed or preparing meals.
There are several websites and online tools to help you work out equipment and/or adaptations may help you. We have included links to these websites - as well as more information on where you can buy these items for yourself, should you want to - on our 'Finding out what will help you' page.
Occupational Therapy from Adult Social Care
There is an Occupational Therapy team in Adult Social Care at Hartlepool Borough Council. Occupational therapists work with people to understand what would help them to live as safely and independently as possible. If you would like to be assessed by an occupational therapist from social care you should contact the Duty team at the Civic Centre for advice.
