Being safe and secure for someone who is frail or disabled is of paramount importance, especially if they are being taken care of by family at home.
Broken bones don’t mend easily, and at a certain age even the silliest of accidents can cause serious injury, which is why any family planning to look after a frail or disabled parent at home will need to have the right mobility aids and furniture in place to prevent unnecessary accidents for their loved one.
Aside from offering the highest standard in home nursing services in South Africa out of their head office in Cape Town, CareChamp offers a full range of mobility aids, furniture and beds to assist frail or disabled people to have a better quality of life while living at home.
The fact that these mobility aids are available for rental is a boon for those who only need them for a short period of time, such as during the recovery from an illness or surgical procedure.
Mobility aids also allow frail, elderly or disabled people to retain a certain amount of independence, which in turn has a positive impact on their health, allowing them to do more on their own than they would be able to in a frail care facility too crowded for personal attention.
Retaining as much muscular movement and strength is important to the overall health of anyone who is frail, or whose normal routines have been curtailed as a result of illnesses that manifest as disabilities, which is exactly what mobility aids offer.
Mobility aids for safety and freedom of movement
The high quality range of mobility aids on offer from CareChamp includes walkers, wheelchairs and scooters, along with everything needed to make using a wheelchair as comfortable as possible, such as a memory foam wheelchair cushions and gel wheelchair cushions.
Getting in and out of the bath or shower becomes more than just a challenge for anyone who is frail or dealing with a disability, it becomes dangerous to do unaided.
Handrails in the shower or bath, non-slip mats in the bath or shower chairs can make all the difference to an elderly frail person in terms of combating depression by retaining the ability to attend to personal hygiene and grooming unaided, for as long as is possible.
Bed sores are always a threat for people who are bedridden, which is why such an emphasis is placed on using the right mattress as a preventative measure.
No matter what the reason is that anyone has to spend most of their time lying in the same position all the time, the right bed can make all the difference to the level of comfort experienced by those who are bedridden.
With a range of hospital beds, specialised mattresses and lifters along with slings, CareChamp can make life a lot easier and a lot safer for your elderly frail or disabled loved one being cared for at home!
