Supported housing services for people with physical disabilities in Scotland
People with physical disabilities, also known as disabled people or physically disabled people, have a physical impairment which has a substantial and long term effect on their ability to carry our day-to-day activities. Someone with a moderate physical disability would have mobility problems, e.g. unable to manage stairs, and need aids or assistance to walk. Someone with a severe physical disability would be unable to walk and dependent on a carer for mobility.
Depending on their individual needs, disabled people may require an accessible home, with or without aids and adaptations. Occupational therapists will assess an individual person's needs for these, and refer the person on to the appropriate agency to have adaptations carried out. Care & Repair Services help disabled owner occupiers and private tenants to have adaptations carried out.
Community Alarm Services can often support physically disabled people live independently, by providing emergency help 24 hours a day.
Some disabled people require extra support to live in the community. This may be a floating or visiting service that provides regular assistance with daily living tasks, and can be a combined housing support and care service. Some organisations provide specialist accessible housing without support, and there also is supported housing - mainly self contained accessible accommodation with visiting support.
