Disabled people: specialist equipment
We offer a range of alternative services to support and assist you in gaining access to equipment suitable for your medical condition.
- Assessment service for loan of equipment
Following an assessment, if you qualify for funding under the Fair Access to Care Services (FACS) criteria, equipment can be loaned to you through our Integrated Community Equipment Service.
- Community alarm services
Telecare enables individuals, their carers and families to retain better control, privacy and peace of mind through community alarm systems, which most people know as Careline.
- Information and advice on disability products - Greenwood Centre for Independent Living
If you need information and advice on disability products, national and local suppliers, organisations and services, we can help you find it.
- Integrated Equipment Service for Dorset
We are the Integrated Equipment Service for Dorset, a partnership between Dorset County Council and NHS Dorset. We provide the administration for the issue of equipment to residents of Dorset, excluding Bournemouth and Poole, who meet the eligibility criteria. This is based on need but not means tested.
- Wheelchair Hire
