Whether you’re aging or are coping with an injury or ailment, it always feels best when you’re in your own home. Luckily home medical equipment is available to help you with just about any navigation, safety, or comfort issue that you may encounter. Let’s take a look at how you might put home medical equipment to work in your own house.

Bathroom Safety Equipment

The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in any home. From grab bars to bath steps to walk-in tubs, you can easily and quickly improve the safety and accessibility of your bathroom.

Homecare Beds

Homecare beds are adjustable to make residing at home more comfortable. These beds are often on wheels for easy maneuverability, and can be positioned so that they are close to the floor to make getting into and out of bed easier.

Patient Lifts

Patient lifts are a necessary piece of equipment when someone in the home has limited mobility. Patient lifts help to keep both the caregiver and the patient safe during patient transfers. Lifts vary in style from mobility lifts designed to support a patient’s entire weight to stand-up lifts designed to support partially weight-bearing patients.

Ramps

Ramps can make a house wheelchair accessible. From complete ramp setups designed to travel up and over a short staircase, to smaller ramps which are lightweight and portable for convenience when traveling, there is sure to be a ramp available to suit your particular needs.

Stairlifts

Staircases can be dangerous and even impossible to navigate for someone who has limited mobility, weakness, or balance issues. Stairlifts make the upper level of your home accessible again. They are convenient, easy to use, and designed to stay out of the way when not in use.

Walking Aids

For patients with partial mobility, walking aids can lend stability, support, and safety. Walking aids include walkers, canes, crutches, and rollators. Walking aids can be useful in recovering from an injury though they are also long-term solutions for anyone who needs extra support.

Wheelchairs and Power Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs and power wheelchairs provide mobility for patients who cannot walk on their own. Wheelchairs and power wheelchairs come with a wide variety of different features, from size to wheel design to seat support to travel capacity for battery powered models.

Scooters

Scooters can improve your mobility, both in the house and while out running errands. Mobility scooters are built to be compact and have a tight turning radius so that they can be used to navigate the tight corners and spaces in your average home. Battery-powered, scooters are an easy way to travel and are built for use indoors, outdoors, or in both settings. There is a wide range of home medical equipment available to suit just about anyone’s needs. Thanks to this medical equipment, you can stay in your own home, even when restricted by mobility issues or other health conditions.
