The Community Equipment Service (CES) was formally a part of NRS Healthcare and has been established in Hereford for 11 years. The team transferred to Hoople in 2025.
The service is commissioned by Herefordshire Council to provide equipment designed to support independent living and minimise moving and handling risks to people in need across the county and its borders. The CES predominantly serves individuals in their own homes, but also supplies Council appointed facilities.
At its depot in Rotherwas, the service stocks a wide variety of equipment, including adaptive furniture, bariatric equipment, bathing and showering equipment, beds, chairs, moving and handling apparatus, mobility aids, pressure care and toileting equipment. The team can also acquire bespoke equipment if the need is identified.
