To help older, disabled or
injured people and their carers
Don't put yourself in danger.
Disability equipment is available which can protect you.
We have spoken to people who:
- stood on wobbly kitchen stools to open window catches, instead
of using a reaching aid
- used a bread knife to open a bottle of bleach, instead of using
a bottle opener
- carried hot food from room to room in a plastic bag, instead
of using a trolley
- stopped cooking for themselves in the kitchen, instead of getting
a perching stool, to make sitting down and getting up a lot easier
- struggled out of a chair or sat on a pile of cushions, instead
of using chair raisers
