Funding
for equipment...
|
||
|
There are several possible options for assistance with the funding of lifts for access. These include the following: 1. Health funding – A Health Authority fund is available to assist a person to maintain their independence in their home. Funding is subject to the application complying with strict funding criteria. Assessment of eligibility is done by making an appointment with your local ‘Community Occupational Therapist’. You can find out who this is by asking your Doctor or local hospital. 2. ACC – If you have had an accident preventing you from using the stairs in your home, or place of work, you may be eligible for ACC funding assistance. You will need to discuss your eligibility with your Case Manager who will arrange for an assessment by one of their approved Occupational Therapists. 3. Other organisations – There are several other organizations who may consider funding assistance in certain circumstances. These include the Lottery Grants Board, health associations and some charitable organisations. |
