24.01.2022 Shower chairs and shower stools provide extra support for people with limited mobility in the bath or shower. Made from water-resistant materials, they come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles. The Hero Medical collapsible folding shower chair is a popular option. Mr Lor bought this shower chair at our Coorparoo store in Queensland. He likes that it is easy to collapse to store away. Explore our wide range of bathroom aids including shower chairs.

05.01.2022 When Victor experienced a stroke, his lovely wife Joy became his full-time carer. Today, they are continuing to work towards Victor’s goals to reengage in daily activities. We are very honoured to be part of their life journey. Their story is below. Joy and Victor have been married for nearly 50 years. Life changed considerably for the couple in recent years. At just 68, and with no symptoms, Victor sat down to dinner with Joy after work, and without warning, his heart stoppe...d. What followed was a three-month hospital stay and permanent physical and cognitive impairment for Victor. Determined that Victor remain at home, Joy became his full-time carer. Support from their homecare package provider and ILS was invaluable. Joy describes her experience with ILS OT Michael Portelli, as a lifeline. Victor wouldn’t be home today if it weren’t for Michael, Joy says. Michael worked with Joy to assess Victor’s functional needs and provided advice on suitable equipment solutions. Considerations included sourcing equipment to keep Victor safe and comfortable, with Joy's limited strength in mind. Victor's reclining manual wheelchair now makes it easier for trips outside. Together they can sip coffee by the water, Victor in his wheelchair with Joy by his side.
