What Is Home Care Equipment?

Home care equipment includes products that help people carry out everyday activities more safely, comfortably or independently at home.

Depending on the user's needs, this may include equipment to assist with:

  • Mobility

  • Transfers

  • Toileting

  • Bedside care

  • Daily living

  • Recovery and rehabilitation

Some equipment is used independently, while other products are designed to make caregiving easier for family members or professional carers.

Home Care Equipment Available from Pharos Pharma Care

Mobility Equipment

Mobility products can help people move more safely around the home or when travelling outside it.

Depending on the level of support required, suitable equipment may include:

  • Walking sticks

  • Crutches

  • Walkers

  • Rollators

  • Wheelchairs

For a broader comparison of mobility equipment, see our Mobility Aids in Zimbabwe guide.

For people who remain able to walk but need additional support, our Walking Aids in Zimbabwe guide compares walking sticks, crutches, walkers and rollators.

Patient Transfer Equipment

Moving between a bed, chair, bathroom or other location can be difficult for someone with limited mobility.

Patient-transfer equipment is designed to assist with these movements and may also help reduce the physical strain placed on caregivers.

The appropriate transfer solution depends on factors such as:

  • The user's mobility

  • Ability to stand or bear weight

  • Available caregiver assistance

  • Space inside the home

  • The type of transfer required

Check current Pharos stock to see which transfer products are available.

Bathroom Safety Equipment

Bathrooms can be challenging environments for people with reduced mobility because of wet surfaces, limited space and the need to sit, stand or transfer safely.

Bathroom safety equipment can include products such as:

  • Bath or shower seating

  • Support handles

  • Commode chairs

  • Raised toileting aids

  • Other assistive bathroom equipment

The right equipment depends on the individual's mobility and the layout of the bathroom.

We will cover this category in more detail in our Bathroom Safety Aids in Zimbabwe  guide.

Bedside and Daily-Living Equipment

Some home-care products are designed to make everyday care around the bed or bedroom easier.

Depending on the products available, this can include:

  • Bedside storage

  • Toileting aids

  • Bedpans and urinals

  • Tables or positioning aids

  • Other daily-living equipment

These products can be particularly useful where someone spends extended periods resting or recovering at home.

Wheelchairs for Home Care

A wheelchair may help someone move around the home or travel outside it when walking has become difficult, unsafe or tiring.

Different wheelchair designs suit different users, environments and levels of caregiver support.

If you are comparing wheelchair types, visit our Wheelchairs in Zimbabwe guide for more detailed information.

Who May Benefit from Home Care Equipment?

Home-care equipment may be useful for people who:

  • Have reduced mobility

  • Are recovering from surgery or illness

  • Need support with everyday movement

  • Have difficulty using the bathroom independently

  • Require caregiver assistance

  • Spend significant periods resting or recovering at home

  • Need additional stability or support with daily activities

The type of equipment required varies from person to person.

Where there are significant medical, mobility or transfer needs, guidance from an appropriate healthcare professional can help determine which equipment is suitable.

Home Care Equipment for Older People

Older people may experience changes in strength, balance, endurance or mobility that make some everyday activities more difficult.

Home-care equipment can help address practical challenges such as:

  • Walking safely

  • Moving between rooms

  • Using the bathroom

  • Getting into or out of a chair

  • Moving longer distances

  • Carrying out daily activities with less assistance

The best approach is usually to consider the person's needs together with the layout and safety of the home.

Choosing Home Care Equipment

Before buying home-care equipment, consider the following.

What Activity Is Difficult?

Start by identifying the activity that requires support.

For example:

  • Walking

  • Standing

  • Transfers

  • Bathing

  • Toileting

  • Moving longer distances

This helps narrow down the type of equipment required.

How Much Assistance Does the Person Need?

Some people remain largely independent and need only light support.

Others may require substantial caregiver assistance.

Choose equipment that matches the individual's actual level of mobility rather than selecting a product simply because it appears convenient.

Will the Equipment Fit the Home?

Measure the available space where necessary.

Consider:

  • Doorways

  • Bathroom dimensions

  • Bedside space

  • Passageways

  • Furniture placement

  • Floor surfaces

This is especially important for larger equipment such as wheelchairs and transfer devices.

User Size and Weight Capacity

Check the dimensions and maximum user weight of the individual product.

These specifications can vary significantly between models.

Portability

If equipment needs to be moved regularly or transported in a vehicle, consider its weight, folded size and ease of storage.

Caregiver Use

Where a caregiver will regularly operate the equipment, consider how easy it is to position, move, adjust and clean.

Creating a Safer Home-Care Environment

Equipment works best as part of a suitable home environment.

Simple improvements can include:

  • Keeping walking routes clear

  • Removing loose rugs and unnecessary trip hazards

  • Providing adequate lighting

  • Keeping frequently used items within easy reach

  • Reviewing bathroom safety

  • Ensuring mobility equipment is adjusted correctly

  • Checking equipment regularly for wear or damage

Home-care needs can change over time, so equipment should be reviewed when the user's mobility changes.
