Helping you stay steady, safe, and confidently on the move
At Gifted Hands Home Care, we understand how essential mobility is to maintaining your independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Whether you need gentle support around the home, help with getting up and down safely, or an escort to your appointments, our Mobility Assistance service is designed to support you every step of the way.
What Is Mobility Assistance?
Mobility Assistance involves supporting individuals with movement, transfers, and safe navigation, whether at home or in the community. This service is vital for people living with reduced strength, balance issues, physical disabilities, or recovering from surgery or illness.
How We Support You
We provide sensitive and personalised mobility support tailored to your individual needs and care plan. This includes:
- Assistance with standing, sitting, or repositioning
- Help using walking aids, frames, or wheelchairs safely
- Support with getting in and out of bed, chairs, or vehicles
- Guided walks inside or outside the home
- Accompaniment to medical appointments, social outings, or shopping trips
- Monitoring for fall risks and environmental hazards
- Encouragement to stay active, when safe and appropriate
All support is delivered with patience, respect, and encouragement to help maintain your confidence and dignity.
Training for Our Carers
Our care professionals receive extensive mobility-related training, including:
- Manual Handling and Safe Moving & Positioning
- Use of mobility aids and equipment (e.g., hoists, transfer belts, wheelchairs)
- Fall prevention and risk assessment
- Assisting with walking, steps, and uneven terrain
- Supporting rehabilitation routines and physiotherapy plans
This training is refreshed regularly, ensuring that our team delivers safe, confident, and dignified assistance.
