Home Care Equipment Checklist

Everyday environment

Discuss access to a comfortable chair or bed, safe lighting, clear pathways, bathroom access and a private space for personal care.

Mobility aids

Use only aids recommended or assessed by an appropriate professional. Ask how the person should be supported and whether the assigned caregiver is trained for the task.

Clinical supplies

For clinical care, ask the treating professional which supplies are needed and who is responsible for providing them. Do not choose treatment products based solely on this website.

Emergency contacts

Keep relevant emergency details and the treating team’s contact information accessible to the family.
