If you're in a general needs home and you're unable to change a lightbulb and a battery in the smoke detector, you may be able to get help from your local council as many have a handy person service. These services are at a subsidised rate, but you will be charged for the service. If you live in Somerset, we also operate a handy person service, which you can find out more about here.

If you are in a sheltered home and you're unable to change a lightbulb and a battery in the smoke detector, please contact us. We can then get a caretaker to you as soon as possible.
