Choosing a Product
In partnership with the Disabled Living Foundation in the UK, Assist Ireland has localised a range of Information Sheets which are listed below. Each Information Sheet describes a range of devices, aids and solutions which are available to assist you with your daily living and detail the sort of things you should consider when choosing equipment. Click on the any of the titles for more information. We have also put together a list of some of the grants and supports that may be available to older people and people with disabilities.
It is essential to emphasise that these Information Sheets are only intended as guides and do not make recommendations of any particular products or suppliers. It is strongly recommended that professional advice is sought before any piece of technology, aid, appliance or device is chosen or purchased to ensure that the most appropriate solution is found for your specific needs.
