I live in the Warwickshire Area I was diagnosed with this condition one and a half years ago and I’m really struggling with it.
I would like to know what help I can receive and where do I go for advice, I’m in social housing and I am really struggling getting in and out of the shower as it is one that is over the bath, I am also struggling with the stairs.
any help or advice greatly received

    Hi @boogie and welcome to the community.
    You can find some information here about the first steps you can take to get your home assessed for adaptation.

    Welcome to Scope!

    Talk to your local council about adaptions. They will be able to help you. Also a OT can do a proper assessment. Don't forget to obtain a copy of the evaluation report so you can read their findings. DLF have a variety of equipment and aids designed to make life easier on their site. https://www.dlf.org.uk/
    Alternatively research DFG as you may qualify for one.
