Independent Living Centres (ILCs) provide information about equipment, adaptations, telecare and specialist equipment for independent living.
They can also be known as Assisted Living Centres or Disabled Living Centres (DLCs).
“Centres for Independent Living” on the other hand are organisations run by disabled people, which may not have equipment display and demonstration areas.
In 2017 some Independent Living Centres closed due to cuts in funding. The following centres are still available and are listed alphabetically by location:
