Equipment to help you at home
A common problem for many people is that they find it increasingly difficult to do the things they used to do at home.
You may find you are having difficulty with day-to-day activities such as having a bath or a shower, getting around your home, or going up and down the stairs. There may be specialist equipment available to help you do these things more easily and safely.
Equipment, and in some cases adaptations to your home, can also help you live more independently and confidently, encourage you to feel more safe, and help you get out and about.
There are many different types of equipment that might help, such as:
- bath seats
- trolleys for carrying things around your home
- raised toilet seats and commodes
- specially adapted beds and chairs
- grab rails around your home to help your stability
