Loan Options

Small adaptations can also be arranged once owner/ landlord permissions have been obtained, usually free of charge. There is a weekly cost associated with the community alarm and tele-care service.
It is very important that the Angus Health and Social Care Partnership know that the equipment they loan is suitable for both you, other household members and your home.
Private Purchase
Angus Health and Social Care Partnership have an agreed list of loan items however there are other providers who exist that also supply similar items.

If you have substantial and permanent vision loss in both eyes you may wish to register as blind or partially sighted.
Registration simply means having your name added to a confidential list of people who have a permanent sight loss. Keeping this register allows Angus Council to meet the needs of people with visual impairments. Registration is entirely voluntary, but it is required for certain financial benefits and consensus.
Your Eye Consultant will say if you are medically eligible and then certify you using approved documentation, which will then be sent to Angus Council for recording.
