BEING more confined than usual during the lockdown may have revealed that living in the ‘comfort of your own home’ isn’t always quite what it is cracked up to be. Perhaps your chair or bed has not felt as supportive as it once was — or the stairs or bath have become more problematic to use. Living comfortably is all about tailoring your environment to meet your needs — and those needs change over time. So if you can’t relax fully in your chair, or going upstairs leaves you feeling strained, then it might be time to make a few helpful adaptations. A home lift eliminates worries about using the stairs and can be a very stylish addition. The installation of a walk-in shower can be completed in just a day or two with minimal upheaval — making bathing safer and less stressful. And a new riser recliner chair will give postural support exactly where it’s needed, while providing help when getting up or sitting down.
OR PERHAPS you have a mobility scooter or powerchair but are finding it hard to travel further afield for summer staycations, days out and shopping trips, because of the difficulty of transporting it. In this case, a hoist (pictured) can be professionally installed in your car boot, to make light work of loading and unloading it. And if you or a loved one is unable to get in and out of the vehicle, a person lift can provide a smooth transfer from powerchair to seat.
REPUTABLE mobility companies are closely following the latest government guidelines on social distancing. From consultations held in the garden, or by phone, WhatsApp or Zoom, to the use of PPE and hand sanitiser during installations, they are doing everything they possibly can to keep their customers safe and able to continue living comfortably in the place they love best.
