This page is a resource service for anyone who wants to know more about equipment for independent living.
It is for people with disabilities and their carers, professionals and other organisations.
The Independent Living Centre houses permanent displays of basic and specialist equipment that assist with independence and caring.
The Occupational Therapist is able to give advice, information and assessment for equipment, enabling people to make informed choices about the equipment they need.
