Physical Disability Support
Practical support that helps people with physical disabilities live independently at home and in their community.
What this is
Physical disability support helps people manage daily tasks and mobility, focused on independence and choice.
Who might benefit
- People with a physical disability who want support with daily living
- People who need help with mobility, personal care or accessing the community
How we help
- We understand the person's mobility needs, equipment and preferences
- Carers are trained in safe moving and handling techniques where needed
- We encourage independence wherever the person wishes to do things themselves
How care starts
- A conversation about mobility, daily living needs and goals
- An assessment considering equipment, home layout and moving and handling needs
Your assessment
- We assess mobility, equipment needs and any moving and handling requirements
- We discuss goals around independence and community access
- This may involve occupational therapists or other professionals where relevant
Family involvement
- Family and any involved professionals, such as occupational therapists, can be part of planning
