Tools to Stay Independent
From basic tools to more specialised equipment, having the right aid makes everyday tasks safer, simpler and more manageable. That might mean a walking frame to keep you steady on your feet, a few clever additions to make your kitchen or bathroom easier to navigate, or support equipment for getting in and out of bed with less strain. It’s not always the big or complex changes that have the biggest impact, but the small daily adjustments to your life and routine.

FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How do I choose the best mobility scooter?
It will depend on your key requirements and how you plan to use it. You need to consider the weight capacity, portability, speed, comfort and maneuverability. It’s important to try different options first before purchasing so you can pick the best mobility scooter according to your needs.
What is the difference between a walker and a rollator?
A walker is a lightweight frame with four legs that you lift slightly as you walk, providing stable support for people with limited balance. A rollator, on the other hand, has wheels on all legs and usually includes hand brakes and a built-in seat. Rollators are better suited for those with some mobility who still need occasional rest and extra balance assistance. Choosing between the two depends on your strength, walking stability, and whether you need to pause frequently while moving.
What are the most useful daily living aids for around the home?
Useful daily living aids vary depending on your specific needs but commonly include reachers (grabbers), jar openers, tap turners, dressing sticks, and adaptive cutlery. These tools are designed to reduce strain on joints, improve grip, and make everyday tasks like cooking, dressing, and bathing safer and easier. Many people also find value in non-slip mats, long-handled sponges, and supportive cushions. A quick chat with a knowledgeable team member can help match the right tools to your routine.
How do I choose the right transfer aid for home use?
Choosing a transfer aid depends on the individual’s mobility, strength, and the type of movement required — such as from bed to chair, or standing from seated. Transfer belts are useful for providing secure handholds during assisted moves. Bed rails and pivot discs assist with standing and turning, while slide sheets reduce friction for repositioning in bed. It's best to consult a professional or experienced supplier who can assess your home environment and recommend a solution tailored to your needs.
