For many people with physical disabilities it is important that they remain as self-sufficient as possible so their self esteem and self worth doesn’t suffer simply because they have a disability. If you have any physical disabilities there are many ways that you can remain living at home while still getting the care that you need for the things that you can’t do for yourself.

Social services will many times be able to help you with the financial help that you need so that you can have a caregiver to come into your home a few times each week or as often as needed. You many not always need help but for those things that you can’t do a caregiver can be there to assist when you need it.

Many times just having some special equipment like mobility scooters will make it easier for you to get around and do things for yourself even with your physical disabilities. This can be as complicated as building ramps throughout your home or as simple as adding a bar to the side of your bathtub for bathing. If you find it difficult to cook for yourself you may want to think about having some or all of your meals brought to you by a Meals on Wheels program.
