Everyone wants to live independently, to stay in our own homes, and to socialise in our own communities.
What help is available to you?
Use the online self-assessment tool, Helpu’n Hun, to find information about products to make daily living activities in your home easier. The Helpu’n Hun assessment offers advice to help you with difficulties you may face with:
- Your home – e.g. the bathroom, stairs, lounge, garden.
- Everyday activities - e.g. shopping, getting dressed, food preparation.
- Your health – e.g. medicine management, home safety, sight and hearing.
Dewis Cymru also has a list of organisations that offer services or activities to support you to live independently: Dewis Cymru
You can get help and information to easily access support, activities and services in your community through your local Community Hub.

Equipment to help you live independently
It’s possible that the assessment will show that certain equipment can help you around the house or as you travel or socialise.
It’s possible to buy equipment privately and to self-refer yourself to some services without receiving an assessment. These are some of the services that are available.
