                                  Bed Mobility Tool


Preparing a home for Aging-in-Place and Aging Parents can be a challenge unless you have the right information. The mobility aids on the right are an example of what healthcare professionals often recommend for bed mobility aids. They lack dignity, safety and effectiveness all of which are common issues in healthcare today.

 

Part of our goal is to help you avoid bringing the above healthcare issues into your home. When it comes to your aging in place needs Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS) are a reliable resource for seniors and baby boomers assisting their aging parents. They can help you with home safety and mobility needs. They often work with discharge planners and/or therapists which can be a winning combination for all. For more information visit AARP Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS)

 

For sometime we have focused on the safety issues associated with mobility aids for a reason. Many products are not able to perform according to the marketing materials. Often healthcare professionals recommend mobility aids without knowing the intended use or use limitations.

 

The role of mobility aids will grow along with user demands for dignity, safety and effectiveness. On the right it's hard to tell you have an mobility aid at your bedside unlike the above. Choosing the right tools will play an ever increasing role in helping you age in place.

 

Healthcare costs are increasing so it will be more important to get the right tool for the right task and eliminate the need to buy multiple products. It's about saving $$$ while meeting your needs now and, in the future.
