Staying in your own home is now more achievable than ever thanks to the constantly expanding range of equipment and assistive technologies, designed to make your home safer and easier to live in.
Our expert staff can assess your home and suggest ways to make it safer and more compatible to your needs. You might require items such as grab rails in the bathroom for added safety, or a ramp to make accessing your home easier.
Personal devices
There are devices that can make everyday tasks simpler and modifications available designed to help you access all areas of your house more easily, whether using a vehicle or through the use of walkers, canes or frames.
Personal alerts are also available if you need assistance or are unable to get to the telephone.
Country Health Connect employs qualified occupational therapists, physiotherapists, podiatrists and dietitians who are able to guide you on the equipment and appliances available to you. They can assist you in selecting the best equipment and appliances to meet your individual needs.
