25.01.2022 Fly high! Let your dreams motivate you to achieve your goals. The sky’s the limit! Image repost @milenazhong

25.01.2022 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.

24.01.2022 Looking for a mobility scooter but not sure how to start? A great way to find out what works best for you is to try them out in store. Janet came into our Penrith store recently to do just that. From this video of a smiling Janet, you would never guess that Janet was anxious and nervous about testing them out. With assistance from our retail team, Janet explored the features of various mobility scooters and gave the Invacare Leo a test drive! Janet loved the Invacare Leo so m...uch that she purchased it and left the store beaming with confidence. Try out the latest range of mobility scooters in a relaxed environment at your nearest ILS store.

24.01.2022 Today is all about pressure injury awareness it is the worldwide Stop Pressure Injury Day. Pressure injuries affect people of all ages, including newborns. Pressure injuries can significantly reduce the quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Patients may experience pain, stress, longer stays in hospital and an overall decline in wellbeing. With the right knowledge and care, pressure injuries are preventable. To support the #StopthePressure campaign, our Hospita...l and Pressure Care (HPC) team are working closely with healthcare professionals across Australia to raise awareness and understanding about pressure injury prevention. Our HPC team has also curated a suite of informative and easy-to-read resources including brochures and videos.
