00:00 Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm an occupational therapist. Welcome to the Independent Living Centre.

00:06 We're here to offer practical, free advice to help you with your daily living.

00:11 You can try equipment here to help you in the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen, or with moving around your home and the community.

00:19 Liz, can you tell me how this sensor might help keep someone safe at home?

00:24 So yes, this sensor will alert your carer if someone's tried to get up and out of bed, which is really important if they're at risk of falling.

00:33 Katie, can you show me a piece of equipment that might help you get dressed?

00:40 Yes, I can show you the sulcate. Pop it on the floor, pulling the straps to wiggle up your leg. It's that easy.

00:52 Jamie, can you show me a piece of equipment that will help you get in and out of the bath more safely?

00:56 Yes, Andrea. This bath board fits easily and securely to the bath, allowing me to get in and out of the bath safely.
