Coping with a Disability


A disability often requires changes in how a person lives, works, travels or spends free time. You may also have to make adjustments to your daily routine. Keep in mind that community services and household help may make the difference that enables you to continue living at home. Examples of help that’s available are:


  • Light housekeeping services

  • Meal preparation assistance

  • A certified home health aide to assist with personal grooming

  • A visiting nurse to administer medications and monitor health

  • There are also products available to help with daily living activities, such as wheelchairs, canes, commodes, and other bath safety equipment.
