Home safety
If your loved one is recovering from surgery or has mobility challenges, then they may need additional gear or supplies to help them safely move around the home. Things like rollators or grip socks can help reduce fall risk, and installing grab bars around the home offers stability assistance.
Bedroom safety
Easily getting into and out of bed or sitting up easily in bed can be a challenge for someone with limited mobility or unsteady balance. Caregivers like you have added bedside rails, sensor pads, and repositioning underpads to help safely navigate mobility in the bedroom.
Bathroom safety
Bathrooms can be a challenging space for anyone requiring care. Movements like sitting down, standing up, or stepping in and out of a shower can easily put someone in a vulnerable position. Not to mention slippery, wet surfaces. Here are a few supplies to help make this an easier space for everyone.
Cleaning & deodorizing supplies
Leaks, spills, and stains can happen when caring for someone and it’s best to quickly tackle these in the moment. Having disposable gloves, disinfectant wipes or spray, and stain removers on hand can keep the germs in check and your home smelling fresh.
First aid supplies
When it comes to first aid supplies, you can never be too prepared to clean and dress scrapes, cuts, or irritated skin or take care of sore or strained muscles. We like having a first aid kit on hand as well as some additional items to address specific issues.
