Practical help for safer transfers and more independence at home.
If getting in and out of bed, standing, using the toilet, moving between chairs or supporting a relative has become difficult, a home assessment can help identify a safer and easier way forward.
Start with the problem you are actually experiencing.
You do not need to know which equipment you need before the assessment. The assessment starts with what is difficult and what the person can currently do.
Transfers are becoming harder
Bed, chair, toilet, shower or car transfers can be assessed for technique, equipment and rehabilitation opportunities.
You are worried about falls
Review balance, strength, standing, transfer setup and environmental factors that may be contributing.
Family carers are struggling
Reduce unnecessary physical effort and identify safer ways to support the person without pulling or lifting manually.
You have equipment but it is difficult to use
Check whether the equipment actually suits the person, transfer and home environment.
You want to regain independence
Targeted rehabilitation may improve standing, bed mobility, transfers, strength and confidence.
Needs changed after hospital
A home review can help turn discharge recommendations into a practical day-to-day plan.
A calm, practical assessment in your real environment.
“The goal is not to make care more complicated. It is to make movement safer, clearer and as independent as possible.”
Person-centred approachChoose an assessment and tell us what is happening.
