Based in Newton Abbot, Devon, our NHS therapy team helps people to find equipment solutions to stay active, safe and independent. We are a joint NHS & Devon County Council funded service, offering completely impartial and independent assessment and advice to individuals, families and carers. We are not a shop; we won’t try to sell you anything.

Our qualified NHS therapists offer:

  • Pre-booked face to face assessments in our demonstration centre. All appointments are with a Therapist who will guide you to find the right equipment solution.
  • Telephone advice: 01392 380181
  • Email advice: ilc-exeter@devon.gov.uk

The OT that helped me was very welcoming and understanding and took his time explaining things so I could understand fully as well as showing me the bath lift. He also showed me stuff to help me cook and do things in the kitchen independently. He was very kind and had a good sense of humour. He really made the experience helpful and enjoyable.
