Spring Home and Garden Assistance

By MediChair
Posted: Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

It’s time to begin the yearly ritual of cleaning the house and sorting the garden. If you or your loved one finds mobility a challenge or if physical limitation is slowing you down with your passion this season, ‘the home medical equipment specialists’ can provide you with some advice and assistance.

Florence is a 71 year old retired school teacher who loves growing vegetables in her back yard. This year, due to her arthritis conditions, she cannot carry too much weight or walk without assistance. With the rollater that she got from MEDIchair, she is able to transfer a bag of soil in her yard just like before. Nothing is stopping her for enjoying this spring. (I made this up, use a story from your store would be better)

One of the biggest challenges facing Canada’s aging population is mobility. Being able to move in and out of your home and from one point to another are key factors in maintaining one’s freedom. There are many factors to consider when choosing a personal mobility product. It may be important to seek a professional assessment depending on the complexity of the mobility issue and the products involved. This assessment considers such factors as your home environment and other places where your mobility product will be used. For example, will your mobility product be used on hardwood floor and carpet in your house or on uneven surfaces in the yard while doing gardening?

Florence also got some assistive devices to help her with spring cleaning in her home and her garden. With some help from her daughter, she is able to do most of the work, and has gained a lot of confidence in living independently.

As people age, fine motor skills and flexibility can diminish through arthritis or other ailments. Simple tasks such as dusting window blinds or picking up things from the floor become very difficult. MEDIchair is continuously searching for new devices that help its customers in their daily living tasks regardless of their physical challenges.
