The thought of investing in mobility equipment might seem like a daunting prospect, but it significantly bolsters your quality of life. Mobility equipment is designed to strengthen independence and relieve pain that’s exacerbated through daily movement. There are also a host of psychological benefits that can boost your mental health. Keep reading to find out more of the benefits of investing in mobility equipment.
What Counts As Mobility Equipment?
Here at Dolphin Stairlifts, we provide a comprehensive range of mobility equipment and stairlifts. These include products by Stannah, Access BDD and Bruno. We also sell handi-move products, which support movement and lifting maneuvers, such as slings, spreader bars and ceiling hoists. Finally, we have a range of home and platform lifts to allow for candid accessibility to other floors of your home. This equipment is suitable for those who suffer from physical impairments and disabilities, or more sedentary individuals who struggle to navigate the floors of their home.
The Physical Benefits
Apart from the obvious, what can our mobility equipment offer you in terms of physical support? Mobility equipment has done an excellent job of reducing Accident & Emergency attendance and the length of hospital stays. Our products offer physical support that minimise falls risks and injuries at home, which equates to less hospital visits. Stairs and elevated heights (like beds) are common instigators of these accidents, which are dramatically reduced with the aid of a stairlift and hoists.
They also do an admirable job of keeping the elderly out of care homes. With sustainable and reliable support, it prolongs the duration our loved ones can stay at home with independent function. It can even mitigate the need for a care home all together, depending on the circumstances. Mobility equipment lowers admission numbers and reserves spaces for those who need it.
The Psychological Benefits
Reduced mobility paired with fewer social opportunities might lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. A vicious spiral starts quickly, and before you realise it, weeks have passed without meeting or speaking with anyone else. At Dolphin Stairlifts, we realise how mobility goods like walking aids, mobility scooters, and power chairs may help you gain confidence, overcome loneliness, and meet new people while also improving your overall health. Staying active is essential for good health, and any activity that benefits your heart will usually benefit your brain as well. Our equipment is ideal for getting to the stores or meeting up with friends at parks, cafes, and social groups. They come with storage bags for your purchases as well as seats where you can relax and watch the world go by.
