FAQ

How do I choose the best mobility aid (Walking Stick, Crutches, Walker) for balance and injury recovery?

Mobility Aid Selection: Use a Walking Stick (Tripod/Quadripod) for light support. Crutches (Elbow/Axillary) are for short-term recovery. A Walking Frame / Zimmer Frame or a Rollator Walker (with wheels, brakes, seat) provides maximum, stable support for seniors with significant balance or strength issues.

What are the key features I must consider before buying a Wheelchair for home and travel use?

Wheelchair Buying Guide: Focus on safety and portability. Look for foldable, lightweight Manual Wheelchairs. Ensure effective wheel locks and proper sizing. For heavy use or patient comfort, consider a durable or Reclining Wheelchair model.

How do Bed Railings and Transfer Boards prevent falls and assist with patient transfers?

Transfer Safety: Bed Railings / Side Support Rails prevent falls from the bed and aid sitting/standing. Transfer Boards or Lift Belts and Turning Sheet / Draw Sheet are used by caregivers to safely move a patient between the bed, Wheelchair, or Commode Chair, reducing strain and injury risk.

What are the essential bathroom safety products needed to prevent slip-and-fall accidents for seniors?

Bathroom Safety: Prioritize stability with Grab Bars for Toilet and Bathroom placed securely. Use a sturdy Shower Chair or Commode Chair for bathing. A Toilet Riser Seat / Raised Toilet Seat minimizes the effort needed to sit and stand from the commode.

What is the difference between Adult Diapers (Pant-style vs. Tape-style) and how should I choose the right size?

Incontinence Care: Pant-style Diapers are best for active users. Tape-style Diapers offer maximum absorption and are ideal for bedridden patients as they are easier to change. Always size based on the patient’s waist/hip measurements, not their clothing size.

How can home diagnostic devices (BP Monitor, Glucose Meter) and Hearing Aids be managed for seniors?

Health Management: Encourage regular use of Blood Pressure Monitors and Blood Glucose Meters. For Hearing Aids, stress the importance of daily cleaning, checking battery life, and correct volume adjustment for consistent support and comfort.

What aids (Overbed Table, Feeding Aids) help seniors maintain independence during meals and activities in bed?

Daily Living Aids: The Adjustable Overbed Table facilitates comfortable eating and activities. Use specialized aids like Adult Bibs for dignity and to protect clothing. Pair these with a Pill Organizer or Pill Cutter to ensure accurate medication timing with meals.

Besides diapers, what other products ensure hygiene and dignity for patients requiring bedside care?

Bedside Care & Hygiene: Protect bedding using Waterproof Underpads / Bed Protectors. Use gentle Bed Bath Wipes / Disposable Wet Wipes for daily cleaning. Urine Bedpans & Female/Male Urinals provide accessible management of elimination, maintaining comfort and dignity.
