Services for People with Mobility/Physical impairment
This information is intended for
- adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who have a
physical/mobility impairment of some kind
- adults with a physical/mobility impairment who are also
parents
to inform them about Social and Housing Services, how we
work and what they can expect from us.
We work with people to help them continue to live as
independently as possible and to help them continue to live in
their own homes wherever possible. We have a policy about
support for disabled parents which covers all forms of disability,
not only physical. Among the services we may be able to
arrange or provide:
- Social work services
- Someone to help you look after yourself at home
- Meals delivered to your home
- Day services for older people and people of working age
- Support for carers, including respite - short breaks from doing
the caring - or sitting services
- Help if you are leaving hospital or have had a serious
illness
- Advice, equipment and adaptations to help you continue living
at home
- Residential care or supported living schemes
- A ‘drop-in’ service for the Deaf Community at Lewis House in
Bath
- Information and advice about other services
To receive a service, you first need to have an assessment and be assessed against our
eligibility criteria.
