    Hi I have a bath aid which was supplied through my occupational therapist. Contact your local adult social services and ask for an assessment

    Hi @jackie59 and a warm welcome to the community! You can request a needs assessment online and an OT will come and assessor your needs. They will then be able to provide you with the equipment you need. :)

    Have you tried the DLF? They provide a range of aids and equipment. This is their site http://www.dlf.org.uk. Lots of information and help. When I was searching for aids, I found it a really good resource.

    Alternatively you can see if a OT can help you. This is a online directory of occupational therapists in Britain across all regions https://rcotss-ip.org.uk/find

    Use the search tool.
