E
Equipment
There is a big market for
equipment for disability and to help with some of the problems old age can
bring. Some ‘gadgets’ can be a real help, others not so useful- and what works
for someone else may not work for you.
If you are looking at buying
bigger items, especially things like beds and chairs, these can be very
expensive so it is worth taking some time to make sure that you are spending
your money on something that is really going to work well for you.
Your Occupational Therapist
will be able to give advice- and you may even be entitled to have some
equipment provided free of charge in the UK. Another useful resource is the Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) website. It
has Fact Sheets giving advice on choosing a variety of different equipment.
Age proof your life by
avoiding costly mistakes!
