Home Independence Service

Introduction

The Home Independence Service is a not for profit service providing information and advice to people who want to buy equipment to help them maintain or improve their independence in their own home.

A range of equipment can also be purchased directly from 5 shops located around the County.

The service is staffed by occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and sensory support workers who are all happy to give you advice and information.

Alternatively, if you would like to see if you are entitled to any help from Durham County Council to help you with your independence please complete our on-line request for equipment and care services form.
