Description: The Medway Integrated Community Equipment Service (MICES) service supports children and adults who, due to their health or a disability, may need community equipment such as walking frames, hoists, crutches, and chairs to help them live their day-to-day lives and maintain their independence and wellbeing.
To manage your everyday life, you may need to make changes to your home. For example, you may need a ramp fitted for a wheelchair, install a ceiling track hoist, grab rails, or an alarm to alert people in case you are unable to get to a phone.
Making a Request:
MICES is a loan service, where community equipment is delivered directly to your home free of charge. For in-home assessment by an occupational therapist or trusted assessor, email us on ss.accessandinfo@medway.gov.uk or call 01634 334 466.
For major adaptations email us on disabled.adaptations@medway.gov.uk or call 01634 331200.
If your needs have changed:
If your equipment is no longer meeting your needs, you will need another assessment to see if a different piece of equipment or an adaptation to your current equipment is required.
Email us on ss.accessandinfo@medway.gov.uk or call 01634 334 466 to book an appointment.
If you are not eligible:
Ask SARA, an online self-help guide hosted by the Disabled Living Foundation could help you with advice and information about products that could make daily living easier.
Repairs:
If your equipment is damaged or unsafe to use, email Medequip on Medway@medequip-uk.com or call 01634 975108. If we cannot repair the faulty equipment at your location, a replacement item will be delivered within five working days. Urgent and critical repairs will be completed in four hours.
