One’s home should never have to feel like a hazardous place. Simple aids like walking sticks, walking frames and simple lightweight trolleys designed for interior use can be a great way of giving the user options at times when they need a little more assurance when navigating the home. Walking sticks and frames will provide extra balance.
After adopting a walking frame, general mobility around the house and home becomes much easier. However, as they require both hands, some may find them equally limiting when they also need to carry something from one place to another. Our team has heard first hand accounts of customers discovering loved ones trying to navigate the home with a walker and a hot drink precariously balanced between fingers.
The safety risks here are clear. A walking frame caddy is the perfect solution to this, they are designed to latch onto the front of the majority of commercially available frames. They are a container for everyday objects with a lid that doubles as a tray. This then has space for plates and even an included extra designed to make carrying hot drinks safe.
Suction grab rails offer a great middle ground when considering whether or not to commit to installing grab rails in the house. The suction is designed to work on glass, cermaics and more. This makes them perfect for use in bathrooms, showers and on other smooth surfaces. They are quick and reliable to place, providing extra assurance. They also allow you to test and adjust the placement of your railing.
