Welcome to the community Sorry to hear that you're not managing the steps in and out of your house. You can request an assessment by an Occupational Therapist and they will assess you at home to see if there are any aids or adaptations that would make it easier for you to get in and out of the house.
Let me know if you'd like to talk some more about this.
