Description

The ICES service supplies equipment prescribed by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, community nurses and other authorised prescribers summarised as: a) Community equipment delivery and installation b) Maintenance and repair of the community equipment whilst on site (including LOLER & Thorough Examination inspections on Hoists & Slings) c) Supply and fit minor adaptations d) Collection of the community equipment when no longer needed e) Recycle community equipment for reuse The provision of community equipment supports children with disabilities and adults who require assistance to perform essential activities of daily living. The provision supports hospital avoidance and discharge, and can reduce the need for social care support by enabling individuals and their carers to better manage their conditions and maintain their independence within the community. Community equipment provision includes items such as adjustable electric beds and pressure care mattresses, hoists and commodes. The equipment is provided free to the service user and is prescribed by health or social care professionals. There is a statutory entitlement to community equipment
