Baths & Lifters
Because of the way they operate in conjunction with the shape of the bath, and the client’s abilities, we have majored in a small number that we have found to cover 99% of the solutions, and which offer the greatest choice.
Beds & Supports
There are many different options to take into consideration when buying a new bed including, height, profiling options, style, size, colour, function and controls. For mattress options please refer to our pressure care section.
Chairs & Seats
Choosing the correct chair to suit your needs requires consideration of many factors. There are many different designs, styles and sizes available and TPG DisableAids can assist you in making the right choice.
Hoists
It is always advisable to have some form of healthcare professional input when looking at the purchase of a hoist. Hoists fall into two main categories, ceiling mounted and mobile, both of which have very different operations and limitations.
Scooters
Choosing a scooter is an important decision as different scooters have very different capabilities. It is important that you find the right scooter for you, and your circumstances. Whether you need it for going to the shops, summer fetes or just to pop in the boot of the car for whenever you need it.
Stairlifts
Stairways with a brief turn at the top: You might feel able to get off the lift and walk up the last few steps, but you need to decide if you are likely to be able to go on doing this.
Wheelchairs
There are generally two main types – attendant propelled (transit chair) and self-propelled. Self-propelled chairs have larger rear wheels enabling the user to manoeuvre around without having to be totally reliant on others, as with the attendant type.
Pressure Care
We supply a range of mattresses from basic through to the highest level of support and comfort from the world’s leading suppliers.
Grants
A grant is a financial contribution to help and unlike loans they don’t have to be repaid. Many charities and trusts have grants that you may be able to apply for. Each has a specific set of attributes that they will be looking for in a person who they’d like to help.
