Guided advice about daily living
Cornwall Council have partnered with the national charity
Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) to provide a quick and easy
to use, online guided advice service called
AskSARA which will assist anyone who finds that
they have difficulties with everyday tasks.
We invite you to use this link to log on to the Cornwall
Council version of AskSARA.
AskSARA works in three easy steps:
1. You choose a topic relating to your health, your home
or daily living activities
2. You are asked some questions
3. You are given advice and product suggestions through a
personalised report
AskSARA consists of:
- Expert advice written by DLF’s team of occupational
therapists
- Case studies about how products can help you stay
independent
- Signposting to relevant services provided by
both public and private organisations
- Details of products that might help you, guide
prices and where you can obtain them
Please follow this link to see our AskSARA
flyer. There is also an AskSARA
poster which you are welcome to display in any public area.
The advice in AskSARA is accredited
by The Information
Standard – a quality filter which helps people to identify
reliable and trustworthy sources of information.
Family members and carers have also found this service to be
helpful by making tasks easier for people who needs that little
extra support to remain independent.
Once you have tried AskSARA we would welcome

obtained as a result of using the tool. Please email your comments
