Additional Information
The Community Equipment Service (CES) is a Support Service which procures, delivers, collects and recycles items of nursing equipment and aids to daily living which have been prescribed by professionals for client living within the Northern Trust area.
The range of equipment includes electric profiling beds, dynamic/static mattresses and moving and handling equipment (i.e hoists and slings). The service is based in Pennybridge Industrial Estate in Ballymena. Facilities at the store include a decontamination unit, storage and delivery/collection of community equipment along with its fleet of delivery and collection vans.
Equipment is delivered to the client’s place of residence (after assessment and prescription by the professional) and it can be retained for as long as it is clinically necessary. Once the equipment is no longer required, and where families are unable to return unwanted equipment, the Equipment Service will collect and return equipment to the Ballymena store where it will be decontaminated and refurbished wherever possible and then stored within the warehouse for future use.
