Latest sales data shows that now, not only has almost every Council in Britain purchased at least one of AAT’s stairclimbers, but increasing numbers of Occupational Therapists are ordering units specifically for stores, so the equipment is already available when clients are struggling with stairs.
AAT believes the success is attributable to a number of factors.
These include that provision of a Sella quickly manages the risk for a client with reduced mobility- not just on the stairs but by reducing the number of transfers involved when moving around the home, and the versatility of the Sella- it suits clients and their carers of all ages and sizes and can accommodate almost every staircase design.
“With Sella’s ability to either fit to a wheelchair or include a seat plus the bespoke range of accessories that ensure any client is safe and correctly supported and positioned, it is now the ‘go to’ option for OTs to make stairs safe- as our sales figures reflect,” says Peter Wingrave, AAT Director
“The extent of availability coupled with Sella’s versatility and proven track record for safety means OTs are increasingly confident in its prescription, knowing that each Sella can be re-allocated again and again over its lifespan. This takes a huge pressure off budgets and re-housing.
“They also trust that we properly assess the client and the environment, free of charge and without obligation, and know we will only proceed if it is right. enabling clients to continue to live- and safely access- their homes very cost-effectively. No other stair access product delivers so many benefits in one.”
