Healthcare Aids

Daily living aids are devices that assist the elderly or disabled in moving around and achieving daily tasks. They range from personal care products, wheeled equipment, bathroom aids to assistive technology.

Walking sticks, wheelchair, lift chairs and scooters are just some of the mobility aids that assist people who have problems in moving around. Having these aids can help an individual in walking and seating and prevents the occurrence of falls.

A mobility scooter can usually reach speeds of 6km/h to 13 km/h depending on the model choose. You can choose from 3 wheel to 4 wheel scooters with different performance specifications and match them with your needs. A guide usually comes with the item but bear in mind that factors such as weight and road evenness affect your scooter’s range.

Bathing for the elderly is very important to avoid infections but it can be a challenging task. You can use bathroom aids such as shower chairs and stools, bath lifts and commodes to help you bathe them efficiently without the risk of sliding and falling. You can also place anti slip accessories like grab rails and mats for additional safety measures in the bathroom.

It is important to reposition patients in bed to improve blood circulation and prevent pressure ulcers. There are also practical aids such as alternating mattresses, overlays and cushions that help patients feel comfortable and at ease, while preventing bed sores from developing.
