Having secure, affordable and accessible housing is important to everyone. Your home should be a place of refuge and comfort and you will need this whilst waiting for your transplant and during post transplant recovery.

 

Social Workers are available to assist those experiencing homelessness or those who need to improve their current housing situation. You can also contact the housing support organisations listed below. These organisation can assist you to find emergency accommodation and long term housing options such as public and community housing.

Housing Modifications

Sometimes your home environment could be more safe and accessible with some simple modifications and equipment such as ramps, rails and other aides. The LTU Occupational Therapist (OT) can assess your home and suggest ways to make daily tasks easier for you. Contact your Nurse Coordinator to make an appointment with the OT.
