Elderly
Sensitive, patient service helping elderly customers stay safe and independent in their own homes.
78 services available across Exeter and surrounding areas.

Staying independent at home matters hugely to older people, and small adaptations can make all the difference. A grab rail by the bath, a ramp at the back door, better lighting on the stairs - these simple changes help prevent falls and make daily life easier. We specialise in home adaptations for elderly residents across Exeter, working patiently and respectfully to understand what's needed and install it properly.

Common Questions About Elderly
Will it hold my weight?
Yes - we fix grab rails into wall studs or use heavy-duty fixings. Properly installed rails hold significant weight.
Can you remove furniture I don't need?
Yes - if furniture needs to go, we can help remove it. Less clutter often means more space.
What do you do with the furniture?
We can take it to the tip, arrange charity collection, or leave it outside for council collection. We discuss options with you.
Can you add shelving?
Yes - if you need a shelf at accessible height, we can fit one. Sometimes that's the best solution.
Is this an official assessment?
It's a practical home check, not a clinical assessment. We identify hazards and recommend fixes based on experience. For medical assessments, contact your GP for an OT referral.
Do you have the right size?
We carry common sizes. Unusual sizes may need ordering, but most standard sticks and frames use standard ferrules.
