Our aids and equipment for aged care

The type of mobility aids and equipment for aged care can vary depending on the individual needs and conditions of the care recipient. Aged care facilities and home care settings may need to provide a range of equipment to support the mobility and well-being of older Australians or clients with disabilities.

Our collection includes:

Aged care mobility equipment

• Wheelchairs: Manual wheelchairs are self-propelled or pushed by support workers, making them suitable for individuals with varying degrees of upper body strength. Electric wheelchairs offer greater independence to those who may not have the physical ability to operate a manual wheelchair.
• Walking frames: Walkers offer stability and balance assistance. Rollators, a type of walker with wheels, brakes, and a seat, are particularly useful for individuals who need to take breaks while walking.
• Canes: Canes come with various handles, including offset handles, T-handles, and ergonomic grips. Quad canes offer additional stability due to their wider base.
• Anti-slip products: To reduce the risk of falls, we recommend having non-slip socks and mats on hand. 
   

Transfer aids

• Patient lifting solutions: Patient lifting hoists come in different configurations. Ceiling-mounted hoists provide more space and versatility in a care setting, and the appropriate sling type should be selected based on the individual's needs.
• Transfer boards: Transfer boards can be wooden or plastic. They are especially useful when transferring from a wheelchair to a car seat or bed, ensuring a smooth transition without straining the individual's or support worker's back.
   

Bathroom aids

• Grab bars: Grab bars should be strategically placed at varying heights to provide support while sitting, standing, or transitioning between positions. Textured surfaces and secure installation are essential for safety.
• Shower chairs/benches: These aids accommodate individuals who cannot stand for extended periods. Some shower chairs are height-adjustable and have removable arms and backs for customisation.
• Raised toilet seats: Raised toilet seats can have different height increments, ensuring the right elevation for each individual. Some models come with arms for added support during transfers.
   

Bedroom aids

• Bed rails: Bed rails can be full-length or partial, and they should be chosen based on the individual's needs and the bed's design. They can provide a sense of security while also helping individuals reposition themselves.
• Overbed tables: Overbed tables often come with adjustable height and tilt angles, allowing individuals to perform everyday tasks comfortably, whether eating, reading, or using a laptop.​​​
   

Assistive technology & daily living aids: 

• Reachers/grabbers: Reachers come in different lengths and designs. Some have magnetic tips for picking up metal objects, while others have suction cups for delicate items. They reduce the risk of falls from overreaching.
• Button hooks & zipper pulls: These tools are designed to simplify dressing routines. Button hooks help thread buttons through buttonholes, while zipper pulls provide a better grip for clothing and unzipping.
• Kitchen aids & adaptive utensils: These adaptive aids may include weighted options for tremors, angled handles for wrist flexibility issues, and larger handles to enhance grip.
   

It's important to note that the equipment needed will depend on the individual's condition, level of mobility, and personal preferences. A comprehensive assessment of each individual's needs is crucial to determine the appropriate equipment and support required for their quality of life in an aged care setting.
