How Accessible Homes and Bathrooms Support Caregiving

“Having an accessible home can make a world of difference, especially when it comes to easing the physical strain. Traditional homes just aren’t set up for mobility challenges, which means a lot of lifting and manoeuvring that can really wear you out. But with modifications like wider doorways, ramps, and stairlifts, it’s like a weight lifted off your shoulders. And in the bathroom, things like our grab rails, or PROCare’s walk-in showers, can make everyday tasks so much safer and easier.

Making your home accessible may positively impact the family dynamic. When the space is set up to meet everyone’s needs, it takes so much pressure off the main carer. Instead of one person shouldering all the responsibilities, it encourages everyone to pitch in and be part of the caregiving process. This shared effort could create a real sense of community and togetherness.”
