After receiving the Occupational Therapist’s report, you can either privately purchase the recommended items (we can arrange a follow-up visit) or send the report to the local authority, which may provide some items, though there might be a wait. We can support you with this process.
If you need help with obtaining aids or adaptations and the local authority will not provide them, on some occasions, we can help acquire these items on your behalf with either a loan or grant.
This service is funded by our principal supporter, Wohl Legacy, alongside generous individuals from across the community.

Alan's Story
I was really struggling in my own home. I’m delighted JBD’s ‘at home’ service meant I could have all my doors widened and my kitchen and bathroom customised to accommodate my wheelchair. Now I can use my kitchen again – and soon I’ll have A great new wet room too!
