equipment, adaptation, TEC, telecare Downloads There are lots of different options when considering equipment and adaptations support.
Equipment – small items from a simple grab stick to help you pick up things, to voice controlled devices to help prepare meals or get around.
Adaptations – simple changes to your home like a rail to help support you in the shower, or a ramp to enter your home in a wheelchair, to bigger changes like installing a new downstairs bathroom.
Technology Enabled Care – from an app on your phone that can remind you to take tablets, to monitoring systems that can detect when you have left a gas ring on, or when you get out of bed. This is also called telecare, telemedicine or medicare.
There are also options to consider when you buy things – like buying new or second-hand, or to rent instead.
