Physical disability care: what it means

If a condition limits someone's strength or mobility (arthritis, a spinal injury, MS, Parkinson's or the effects of a stroke, for example), this is the kind of care to look for. Carers help with personal care, move people safely using hoists and similar equipment, and encourage them to keep active and do as much for themselves as they can.

Questions to ask agencies about physical disability care

1. What equipment do you provide, and what must we arrange?
2. Are staff trained in moving and handling, including hoists and slings?
3. Will two carers be available when two are needed?
4. How do you prevent pressure sores and falls?
5. Who reviews the care plan when needs change?
