While in hospital I was visited by occupational health who asked if I had any problems at home. I explained about the few steps at the outside door which I had some difficulty with. She suggested the outside rail but, as I live on the bottom floor of a block of four flats it was difficult as everyone in the flats had to agree to a hand rail being installed.
When I got home from hospital I contacted each of the residents, who all said they had no problem with a hand rail.
I then contacted fife health social care, who were very helpful.
Soon after, Sandra from social care contacted me, then came for a visit, within a short while a hand rail was fitted.
It has made such a big difference to me entering and exiting the building.
Thank you for all your help and assistance.
