Community Equipment Services supplies and fits equipment and minor adaptations to help children and adults with disabilities to live safely and independently at home.
The service is a jointly funded partnership between Sunderland City Council and the Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group. Equipment is free of charge and provided on a long-term loan basis following an assessment from a nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Physiotherapist. If you want advice about buying your own equipment, the service can put you in touch with an Occupational Therapist who can help.
The service repairs, services, maintains and replaces equipment. The professional who assesses your needs will tell you when your equipment is being delivered.
When they deliver your equipment, they will show you how to use it safely. When you no longer need your equipment, you can bring it back to them or they can come and collect it from you.
