    Hi @terry01, welcome to the community. Hope you're well today.

    Has the person you care for had an occupational therapy assessment? They can sometimes help with equipment.

    If that's not an option, you might like to look into whether there are any grants available:

    Turn2us Grants Search

    There's also a website dedicated to disability grants that might have something suitable:

    Disability Grants - Charitable Funding for the Disabled

    Hope you can find something suitable soon ☺️

    Hiya as a lady who has spondylosis osteoarthritis of lower back right hip and now bedbound . Occupational health would be able to assist you in that area to see what they can do for you. Obviously she would need an assessment but that wouldn't take long . In terms of waiting to hear from them it doesn't usually take very long hope this was helpful x
