North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership

Living Independently

We support people whose ability to lead an independent life has been tested by illness, disability or frailty. We help people who have been born with an impairment or disability which limits their movement, co-ordination, dexterity or awareness of their surroundings.

Independent living services help people to keep control in their lives. We promote independent living by developing people’s skills or adapting their home to suit their needs.

Would it benefit me?

After an accident, or illness, you may not be able or confident to do things you once did. Our occupational therapy team can help you to regain and maintain daily living skills. They can arrange for equipment and adaptations to make living in your home easier.

If you have a sensory impairment we can advise and support you to maintain your independence.

If you have a suffered a brain injury our rehabilitative support services can work with you to aid your recovery and help you adapt to any limitations.

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapists help people to carry out activities they need or want to do, but as a result of illness, disability or exclusion, are prevented from doing. We provide structured, intensive support tailored to your particular needs. This can boost confidence, help you recover from accident or illness and ease the transition from hospital to home.

We support people of all ages with:

  • Physical disabilities
  • Long term conditions
  • Mental health difficulties
  • Learning disabilities

We can also help you access equipment and adaptations for your home.
