Adaptations
A person’s changing needs may need to be assessed to identify adaptations that can support them to live more independently. These adaptations may include:
Handrails for support in the bathroom, labelling rooms and cupboards, a dosette system to remind them to take their medications
Support for both the individual and their family/carers, which may include arranging for a counselling services or a befriender
Information about the person’s condition, illness, legal and financial issues, and opportunities to plan ahead should be available. Charities, forums, helplines, or support groups are useful sources of information and support.u00a0
