Use the AskSara self-assessment for detailed advice about equipment to help you with housework and shopping.

Shopping

Most supermarkets offer online shopping and will deliver your groceries straight to your door. Ask the driver if they can help put the shopping away.

Look at public transport options if getting to and from the shops is difficult.

There are some services which will help you do your shopping and put it away too.

Cleaning

Keeping your home clean and tidy reduces the risk of falls. If you need help with cleaning search the lists of services that will clean for you.

Choosing a service

Be mindful when choosing a service. Think about services where staff have been DBS checked. Also think about writing down exactly what you want from service and agree a price before starting.
