Assistive devices for seniors and those living with Disability in Australia
Nearly 90% of older Australians (aged 65 and over) had one or more long-term health conditions, and two in five older Australians living in households needed assistance with everyday activities (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022).

As per the data from the ABS a number of Australiana face various challenges that can affect our daily lives. Assistive devices for seniors are designed to provide support, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life. At Aged Care & Medical our aim is to provide a program of affordable and effective assistive devices to meet the needs of senior Australians. Furthermore, there is a plethora of research detailing how maintaining independence is crucial - physically, mentally and socially.
Our assistive devices, such as walkers, wheelchairs, and grab bars, help seniors navigate their homes and communities with confidence. These devices are not only practical but also designed with comfort and ease of use in mind. In addition to mobility aids, we offer devices that assist with daily activities, such as dressing aids, kitchen gadgets, and bathroom safety equipment. These items can make everyday tasks more manageable and reduce the risk of accidents including falls prevention.
Occupational Therapist Assessment & Renting Assistive Devices as an Option
Creating an assistive devices program with your Occupational Therapist (OT) for the home is a great way to manage how you can live at home confidently. Occupational Therapists can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable devices to enhance your independence and safety. In addition, many Home Care Package providers and NDIS plan managers require an OT clinical assessment prior to any Assistive Device program application.
We understand that purchasing assistive devices can be a significant investment. That's why we also provide options for renting some of these devices. This allows you to try out different equipment and find what works best for you without a large upfront cost.
