Elderly Care and Support, and why it’s Important

Many elderly people can continue to live at home but may need support to carry out certain tasks. This is where Hospital Direct’s products can make a real difference to help the aging population with the quality of their lives.

Support for the elderly in their own homes can be provided through certain products which help relieve the struggle of certain tasks. For example, the Washable Easi-Dress is a simple sliding arm and leg sleeve that helps the aged dress easily, either by themselves or with the assistance of a carer, by sliding shirts, blouses, jackets and trousers on with ease.

The Washable Easi-Dress Pack is more suitable for elderly care if you will need it for long-term use but for short-term use to help aged people then a Patient Specific Easi-Dress Pack will last long enough and cost you less!

Other products that can help home care for the elderly in their own homes include the low-profile Non-Slip Chair Pad which uses cutting-edge anti-slip materials to give elderly support and prevent users from slipping down in wheelchairs, dining room chairs, sofas, riser recliners and even beds.

Our Other Solutions To Support You:

Hospital Direct recommends using the chair pad with the Anti-Slip Foot Pad to prevent slipping further during elderly nursing care.

The SIBA 2-way Satin Sheets are also perfect to help aged nursing care and those who struggle to move around and get in and out of bed. With the satin sheet system in place, the elderly user can lie directly on the base sheet and turn easily throughout the night without slipping.

The concept of elderly care also involves providing independence as far as possible, and Hospital Direct’s Bed Bath Soap Sponges are ideal for bed-bound and immobile patients who need a full body wash but are unable to use a shower.

Disposable sponges need just one tablespoon of water for a patient to complete an independent, full-body wash in bed, which will help aged people wash with dignity.
