Somerset Independent Living Centre (SILC)

Independent Living Centres have a range of equipment and technology to help you stay independent, both in the home, and also when out and about. At the centre you can get advice, find out what kind of equipment is available, and even try some out for yourself. It’s free to visit, but you’ll need to make an appointment first. You’ll meet with an Occupational Therapist (OT) during your visit to the centre for an assessment of your needs.

Shape Mendip, Stockhill Building, Cannards Grave Road, Shepton Mallet BA4 5BT
