Assistive technology gets people moving ESTABLISHED in 1993, Total Mobility sells, supports and services a broad range of “assistive technology” to individuals, aged care facilities and hospitals. “We provide a unique service in Canberra as we have a wide range of mobility products and equipment for sale or rental,” says Total Mobility ACT branch manager Tim Kapustin. From basic products to assist daily life such as walking sticks or aids to open jars or pick items off the ground, to customised powered scooters, Total Mobility sells to the public as well as works with people who have funding through the NDIS or community aged care packages. With two service technicians based in the ACT, Tim says the team provides great service and support to their customers. “Our staff are experts and experienced in the industry,” he says. “People can come to see us in our showroom and know that the person who serves them is a product specialist.” And if there’s any tricky or highly technical questions that the eightperson team can’t answer immediately, Tim says they can refer queries onto their colleagues in Sydney. “We don’t sell items just for the sake of the sale. We work with our clients to find the best solution for them, within their budget,” says Tim. Total Mobility, 3/21 Raws Crescent, Hume.

Reliable occupational therapists keep seniors safe ROSELLA Occupational Therapy has been providing experienced, reliable occupational therapy services in the ACT area since 2016, according to director Joanne Kinsella. “Our services are delivered within people’s homes, as we’re focused on keeping seniors safe in the community,” she says. Joanne says Rosella can provide assistive equipment, including wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walking aids, adjustable beds, lift-recliner chairs, custom seating, hoists, lifting aids and mobile shower commode chairs. “The list is endless – we can assess people’s homes and identify potential needs, and then make suggestions for equipment that will help,” she says. Rosella Occupational Therapy also provides falls risk assessments, according to Joanne, who says they’re valuable for people who are thinking ahead about preventing falls, as well as those who have already fallen. “We look at changing the environment, removing trip hazards, improving lighting, looking at shoes, glasses, improving strength and coordination and making routines easier,” she says. “Another focus for us is dementia support, to provide appropriate recreational activities, enable people to be able to do more for themselves and take away frustration as much as possible.” Rosella Occupational Therapy, call 0457 206492 or email info@rosellaot.com.au
