How to Adapt Your Home for a Person with Limited Mobility?

Adapting the home is a key step in ensuring the safety, independence, and comfort of our loved ones with limited mobility. The process may seem complex, but with the right assistive devices, any space can be transformed into an accessible and secure environment. Let's look at the solutions zone by zone.

1. Entrance and Overcoming Barriers (Thresholds and Stairs)

Stairs and even small thresholds are often the first and biggest obstacle. Fortunately, a variety of solutions exist, which can be either stationary or mobile, depending on the needs.

Stair Climbers

These mobile devices are operated by an assistant and are ideal for buildings without an elevator. They "grip" the wheelchair and safely move it up or down the stairs.

Chairlift for climbing stairs

Stairlifts

Foldable ramp for wheelchairs

Ramps for Thresholds and Steps

Ramps are a universal solution. They can be foldable and portable for easy transport, telescopic to adjust the length, or modular to build a permanent structure at the entrance.

2. Safety and Comfort in the Bathroom and Toilet

The wet and slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it the riskiest room. Adapting it is absolutely essential to prevent accidents.

Grab bar for bathroom

Grab Bars and Rails

These provide stable support when standing up and sitting down. Various types are available: stationary (wall-mounted and angled), folding (next to the toilet bowl), and innovative vacuum suction grab bars that do not require drilling.

Raised toilet seat

Raised Toilet Seats

A standard toilet is often too low. A raised seat elevates it by 10 to 15 cm, which significantly eases sitting down and standing up. Models with or without armrests are available for additional support.

Combined shower and commode chair

Shower and Commode Chairs

For people who cannot stand in the shower, shower chairs are essential. Combined chairs can be used both in the shower and over the toilet, or as a mobile commode in the room, thanks to the built-in pail.

3. Safety and Comfort in the Bedroom

The bed is where a person spends the most time. Adapting it is key not only for the patient's comfort but also to make it easier for the caregiver.

Electric hospital bed

Hospital Beds

Modern electric hospital beds allow the bed's height and the back and leg sections to be adjusted with the push of a button. This facilitates getting up, eating in bed, and daily care.

Pressure relief mattress with compressor

Pressure Relief Mattresses

For bedridden patients, preventing pressure sores (decubitus ulcers) is paramount. Pressure relief mattresses with a compressor constantly change the pressure points on the body and improve blood circulation.

4. Easing Transfers

Moving a person with limited mobility from a bed to a chair, into a wheelchair, or to the bathroom is a huge physical burden for caregivers and carries a risk of injury for both parties. Patient lifters solve this problem instantly.

Hydraulic patient lifter

Patient Lifters

These mobile lifts allow a single person, without any physical effort, to lift and move the patient safely. They can be hydraulic or electric and are an indispensable assistant in daily care.

Every Home Can Be Accessible

Proper home adaptation restores freedom and self-esteem to people with limited mobility and brings peace of mind to their loved ones. Choosing the right assistive devices may seem difficult, but you don't have to do it alone.
