I was visited by Norma the occupational therapist for my local area. She observed me getting into my house and saw me struggling with my rollator and trying to keep the door open. The door is a fire door and is really heavy for me. My door was unlocked because my eyesight is very poor and I can’t see to get the key in the keyhole very well. Norma arranged for a surveyor to come and see what help could be given. I’m delighted to say they are coming soon to fit an apparatus that will open my door with a fob so I won’t have to find the keyhole, also this apparatus will keep the door open long enough for me to negotiate my rollator and myself inside safely then automatically lock the door.
I am absolutely delighted with the help and support received and ever so grateful.
