Parkinson’s and Dystonia - Safety at Home
Create a safe environment for people with Parkinson’s and Dystonia withassistive devices and daily living products from BetterCareMarket.
As mobility issues become common with Parkinson’s and Dystonia make sure to maximise the safety and accessibility of your home with our helpful aids. From orientation signage to raised toilet seat with armrests: all useful devices that will keep your loved one safe at home!
Adjustable Bed Rail
An adjustable bed rail is a safety device that you attach to the side of a bed, to help prevent falls and make it easier to get in and out of bed.
For someone with Parkinson’s disease of Dystonia, who might have trouble with balance and movement, an adjustable bed rail can provide crucial support and stability.
It helps prevent accidents and makes the bedroom a safer place, reducing the risk of falls and makes getting in and out of the bed more manageable and secure.
Special Bedsheets for Parkinsons
A Wonder Sheet is a specialised bedsheet designed to make moving and turning in bed easier.
For someone with Parkinson’s disease, who may struggle with stiffness and difficulty moving, this sheet can be extremely beneficial.
It is made from a slick fabric that reduces friction, allowing the person to slide more smoothly across the bed. This ease of movement helps prevent injuries from straining or getting stuck in one position.
It also makes it easier for carers to assist with repositioning, which can reduce the risk of bedsores and improve overall comfort. The Wondersheet is available in Queen size, King size and Double size.
Orientation Signs
Orientation signs are clear, easy to read signs placed around the home to help people with conditions like Parkinson’s, dystonia and dementia navigate their environment safely.
These signs might label rooms like bathroom, bedroom, kitchen or provide warning to stop. For someone with dementia, these signs can help reduce confusion and anxiety by making it easier to remember where things are and what tasks need to be done.
For those with Parkinson’s or dystonia, clear labelling can simplify moving around the house, which can be challenging due to mobility issues.
