Assistive equipment can help you manage your daily activities and get on with life.
Perhaps getting out of bed or a chair isn't as easy as it used to be, or further support is needed to use the toilet or bath.
Maybe walking to and from the local shops and carrying the groceries home is more difficult than it used to be.
Assistive equipment is available to overcome these and many other issues to help you manage your daily activities and get on with life.
From bed and chair raisers to toilet steps complete with railings, walkers and scooters, Technology for Ageing and Disability ACT (TADACT) has a range of equipment to suit a variety of needs.
For those who have suffered an accident or illness and have more specialised needs, modified equipment is available to help you regain your independence.
TADACT's team of volunteers will work with you to design and make or modify solutions specific to your needs.
