Community Equipment Service

Equipment and tech to help you at home

Community Equipment Service

The Community Equipment Service (CES) can loan some equipment to support any care you receive at home, or to help you stay independent at home.

The equipment available includes:

  • grab rails to help you safely access essential facilities inside and outside your home
  • furniture raisers to help you move on and off your chair and bed
  • equipment to help you move on and off the toilet
  • walking aids
  • equipment to help with bathing and showering
  • hoists and other equipment for carers to help you with personal hygiene tasks or to access essential facilities in your home
  • small wheelchair ramps to your front door

To be eligible to get equipment from the CES, you need to:

  • live in Surrey
  • be registered with a GP in Surrey

You also need to be assessed by an authorised health or social care professional to see what equipment you need.

Your local NHS service (usually an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or nurse) or Adult Social Care team can organise the equipment for you if you are eligible.

The relevant professional will order suitable equipment. You cannot order equipment directly from the CES.

If you have any equipment supplied by the Surrey CES that needs repairing, please contact Millbrook Healthcare:

Their standard hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm.

Urgent repairs and breakdowns

You can also report urgent repairs at any time by calling them on 0330 124 1247

Please return equipment when you no longer need it.
