Equipment and aids around the house

TO enable people to remain in their own homes, there is a lot of equipment that can be put into the home to make life a lot easier says Crediton Care Services Ltd.

For instance, a stool to sit on in the kitchen if your legs won’t let you stand for long periods.

Also you can have a wheeled trolley to push items around the home, for example, to move your meal from the kitchen to the dining table.

Some people have trouble going up/down steps and grab rails could be put in place to assist you.

Shower stools, chair/toilet raisers, commodes, zimmer frames/walking sticks ... the list of what you could be entitled to is endless.

These are just a few items that can be assessable to you all. Please contact your occupational health team at your local hospital for more information.

Crediton Care Services are a small, locally-run care service in Crediton offering a specifically tailored care package suited to your personal needs.
