Caring for an older relative at home is a rewarding but demanding job, and the small details make a big difference. At our orthopaedic centre in Xirivella we support families and carers with products designed to prevent, bring comfort and make everyday life easier for older people.
Who it’s for
For older people with reduced mobility, those who are bedridden or who spend long hours sitting, and for the families and carers who look after them. Also for anyone leaving a hospital stay who needs to adapt the home, and for active older people who want to prevent falls and keep their independence for as long as possible.
How we do it
We listen to the real situation of the person and their carer: how much time they spend in bed or in a chair, what the risks are, what the home is like. From there we recommend the right solutions: anti-bedsore cushions and mattresses to prevent pressure ulcers, postural chairs, grab rails and support bars, toilet raisers, bath seats and other technical aids. We explain how to use and maintain each product and advise on how to adapt the home to reduce the risk of falls.
Benefits
- Prevention of pressure ulcers (bedsores) with the right surfaces.
- More comfort for those who spend long hours seated or in bed.
- Home adaptations to reduce falls.
- Support and advice for the carer too.
- Products selected with care, never overselling.
Frequently asked questions
Which anti-bedsore cushion or mattress do I need? It depends on the risk and the hours of pressure. We assess the situation and recommend the right surface, from viscoelastic to air systems, so you don’t pay for more than you need.
Can you help me adapt the bathroom and the home? Yes. We advise on grab rails, toilet raisers, bath seats and other aids to make the home safer and more comfortable.
Will you answer the carer’s questions? Of course. We know what caring involves, and we take the time to resolve the questions of the person at the older relative’s side.
