There are many types of equipment that can help you in your daily life. These range from small items like bath aids and hand rails to large specialist equipment designed to help people with particular disabilities. If your Adult and SocialCare or Health Professional has assessed you as needing this equipment and you meet the eligibility criteria then this will be arranged for you.

With help from the Department of Health, Devon County and local NHS Devon organisations have created a joint Devon Community Equipment Service. We are sharing our planning with service users and voluntary organisations to ensure we meet people's needs as closely as possible. Social Services already has a county wide service operating from Exeter supplying equipment direct to peoples own homes or to local stores for onward delivery by health and social care professionals.

The Equipment catalogue for our service can be viewed on-line for general interest, but please note this is not a retail catalogue.

If you would like to share your views on our equipment services, contact the Community Equipment Project Manager, Tel. 07980 905126.

If you would like your own community care assessment for service contact your Care Direct Tel: 0845 1551 007.
