How To Improve Accessibility At Home

Creating a home that’s accessible for everyone is a way to promote safety, independence and comfort. Whether you or a loved one face mobility challenges, small adjustments can make a significant difference in day-to-day life. From simple modifications like installing grab bars to more extensive changes like adding ramps, improving accessibility can transform your living space into a haven of ease and functionality. In this guide, we’ll explore some small, practical steps to enhance accessibility in every corner of your home.

Shower Stools

Showering can be a cumbersome task for those with limited mobility. Not only that, but it can also be a safety risk. If standing for longer periods of time is difficult, a shower stool can help. This allows the user to remain seated for the duration of their shower. The extra support can also make it easier to wash oneself.

Adjustable Tables

Whether you’re relaxing in bed or sitting on the sofa, having a table nearby can be helpful. To save you having to move heavy furniture or reach over to a table at an unsuitable height, you can get an adjustable table. These sit on a frame and have wheels, so you can easily pull the table closer when you need to. With the frame only supporting the table on one side, you can pull the table right over your lap, making it ideal for mealtimes.

Bed Grab Rail

Many of us take for granted simple tasks such as getting in and out of bed. However, if you have limited mobility and strength, you may struggle with this. If you need an extra hand but want to retain your independence, a bed grab rail can be an enormous help. This is a small handle which attaches to the side of your bed, giving you something to grab on to. As well as that, you can also use it to help lower yourself gently into bed.

Multi-Opener

Bottle caps, screw tops and ring pulls can be really difficult to handle with reduced dexterity. Therefore, a small tool like a multi-opener can make a big difference. The non slip handle helps you to grip onto the opener which allows you to effortlessly open jars, bottles and tubes.
