At home

Your home needs to be a place that you feel comfortable in. There are simple changes that can be made to make your life easier.

This section provides practical tips and advice to make living at home easier and safer. You could try out the ideas on a small scale first and see what works for you.

You may also wish to talk to a rehabilitation officer. Rehabilitation officers are people that can offer advice and training with independent living and mobility skills in and around your home. Contact your local social services department, or organisation for blind and partially sighted people - use our Find useful organisations database to locate one near you.
