My impression on reading the article was that the Adria from Mr Fry is the only option available to disabled caravaners, this is not so. It is possible to have alterations like widened doors, wheelchair ramps, L-shaped living areas and wetrooms fitted to some if not most caravans.

We first saw an advertisement in Caravan Magazine detailing the Axcess just after purchasing our Swift and had originally planned on looking further into purchasing an Adria next year if we didn’t get on with the Swift.

Then looking through a back copy of Able (May/June 2011) I saw an article titled Caravan Chic (page 96) which detailed adaptions for caravans carried out by Coachbuilt GB, and as I say, a visit ensued yesterday. With the purchase price and adaptions we want we would be saving around £5000 compared to the price of the Axcess.

Whilst not wishing to take anything away from Mr Fry for supplying the Axcess (bravo to him), I just wanted to point out that there are alternatives (a point made better by the fact that both articles were brought to our attention by Able Magazine).

For over 20 years the Independent Living Fund has helped support 22,000 of the most disabled adults who would cost between £1500 and £3500 a week in full time care. The scheme has saved the country 2.3 billion pounds a year in care costs as without it carers would not cope

In May 2010 the government stopped the fund for carers of those extremely disabled adults with complex needs those who would qualify must ask the council if they will supply you with the help you would have got from the Independent Living Fund as you cannot manage to care at home with out it.

The existing 22,000 still on the fund this could stop in 2015. I urge everyone to write to your MP and your council informing them that if this life line is stopped and not replaced you cannot manage to care at home and will require full time care that will cost the councils 2.3 billion pounds a year. The Indepenent Living Fund has done a first class job of helping carers to save the country 119 billion pounds a year. Shutting the fund will flood the country with full time care. The Government have been warned!

Councils including Rotherham and Reading MBC’s have without consultation breaching council guidelines they have after 40 years altered from 7 day to 14 day collections of bodily waste from the homes of doubly incontinent adults who would cost from £1500 to £3500 a week in care. They have adopted a zero tolerance on collection of up to 8 bags of stench containing quantities of up to 80 plus soiled adult nappies filled with faeces urine blood and vomit to go into a unsealed black bin they provide along with your other household rubbish sending 1000′s of tons of bodily waste to landfill. Those councils to save £40,000 to £80,000 have even withdrawn supplying the yellow bags for this stench that has to be stored on the disabled adults property for 14 days turning their property into a dump it site for sewage. nationwidecarers tells carers how to get back weekly collection of this stench write to your council’s chief executive with a copy to the director of waste management give them an ultimatum return me to weekly collection with yellow bags supplied of my faeces urine blood and vomit as I refuse to keep this stench on my property for 14 days I want to implement my right I want you to provide full time care for my disabled adult at up to £3500 a week £182,000 a year. You supplied your care free 168 hours a week on £200 a week benefit this is often 6% to 10% of the full time care costs. Carers save this country 119 billion pounds a year and with councils shutting laundry and bathing services and shutting day centres and respite homes slashing home help their is now no longer an incentive to care for disabled people at home. You will get your weekly collection and yellow bags supplied. You have been assessed for your services should the councils without consultation reduce any of your services give your council the ultimatum the choice is theirs this is the only way to treat your councils full time care is the last thing they want so they must provide your much needed services or provide the full time care. Don’t let councils treat you as a second class citizen nationwidecarers is linked to Mencap and Carers UK and many more organisations and in detail informs all carers of their rights and how most councils breach Community Care Law.
