Improving Mobility In Your Home: Quick Fixes To Make Your Life Easier

Creating a safe and comfortable environment can immensely decrease the stress and struggle in everyday life. At Patient Handling, we recommend investing in mobility aids and other equipment to meet your needs and assist an independent lifestyle.

ROLLATORS AND WALKERS

Falling or tripping is the main reason for injuries for patients and elders, and walking aids can reduce this risk significantly. Walking accidents include minor bumps but can also lead to severe injuries such as fractures and breakages.

Walking aids comes in many shapes and sizes. A rollator or a walker is a common alternative to improve mobility in the home and reduce the risk of falling. At Patient Handling, we have a wide range of rollators to suit specific needs. Things to consider when purchasing a rollator or a walker is the height, weight, size of wheels and the price. Tailored to suit the patient will ensure safety and comfortability.

Rollators and walkers ensure stability for the patient, and most of them have firm seats and room for storage when transporting laundry or items around the household.

The Peak Care Economy Lightweight Rollator is one of the lightest and most transportable walkers at Patient Handling. The rollator is ideal for moving around the home and comes with handbrakes at all times to ensure control for the user.
