Finding Out What Will Help You

There is a wide range of equipment and adaptations available to help you with your day-to-day tasks at home.

A rail secured in the ground or fixed to one side of your front door could help you get in and out of your property safely.  A second banister rail or a stair lift may help you if you if you have difficulty getting up and down stairs.  There are all sorts of gadgets to help you get dressed, use a toilet, bathe and prepare drinks and meals.

With so many choices available, it is important to make sure that whatever piece of equipment you are thinking about using meets your needs.  This is where advice from staff in mobility shops (such as Zenith Mobility in Hartlepool) or helpful hints from online tools are really useful.
