Mobility aids are more than just tools—they are pathways to independence, confidence, and safety. At Manoogian Manor, we work with residents and families to determine which mobility aids best match each individual’s needs and lifestyle.
-
-
Canes for Mild Support
-
Canes are ideal for those who need light balance support. Quad canes, with four feet, offer more stability than single-point canes and are often easier to use indoors.
-
-
Walkers for Enhanced Stability
-
For seniors with more significant balance issues or leg weakness, walkers provide a solid base of support. Models with wheels and seats offer flexibility for those who tire easily.
-
-
Rollators for Mobility and Convenience
-
Rollators come with hand brakes and built-in seats, allowing users to take breaks when walking longer distances. They’re perfect for residents who are active but need occasional rest.
-
-
Wheelchairs for Limited Mobility
-
Manual or powered wheelchairs offer mobility for those who cannot walk safely or comfortably. Ensuring proper fit and posture is critical to prevent shoulder or back strain.
-
-
Mobility Scooters for Independent Outings
-
For those who enjoy getting outdoors or running errands within the facility grounds, scooters offer a safe, motorized option. They support independence while preventing overexertion.
-
-
Lift Chairs for Safe Transfers
-
Getting in and out of chairs can be difficult for some seniors. Lift chairs help gently transition from sitting to standing and reduce strain on joints.
-
-
Professional Fitting and Training
-
Improper use of mobility aids can lead to falls or muscle strain. That’s why we connect residents with professionals who fit and train them on proper usage.
Choosing the right mobility aid is not just about medical need—it’s about enhancing comfort, safety, and quality of life. At Manoogian Manor, we guide residents through this process with care and compassion.
