Christmas is a special time in the South West — families gathering, children and grandchildren returning home, and a chance to enjoy family traditions. It’s also a time when many people begin to notice that a loved one may be finding mobility a little more challenging than before. Perhaps a parent or grandparent is moving more slowly, finding the stairs harder, or avoiding certain tasks altogether.
We understand how delicate these situations can be. Raising concerns about mobility, independence or safety isn’t always easy, and conversations can sometimes be met with resistance, worry, or a firm, “I’m fine, honestly.”
At Unique Mobility, our teams across Launceston, Plymouth and our brand new Exeter Disability Centre showroom, support families through these moments every day. We provide no-pressure advice and a calm, neutral space where individuals and families can explore equipment that supports independence, comfort and safety at home.
A Supportive Space to Explore Practical Solutions
Visiting one of our South West showrooms allows your loved one to see, feel and try out equipment — something that often brings clarity and reassurance for everyone involved.
We can help with:
- Walking aids such as rollators to reduce fall risks
- Riser recliner chairs to support safer standing and aid posture and pressure care during extended sitting
- Mobility scooters and powerchairs for getting out and about confidently
- Stairlifts to make navigating the home easier
- Simple daily living aids like shower stools, bath lifts and commodes
- Adjustable beds for safe, supported rest – including profiling options for assisted care
Many items are available in stock for fast turnaround, ideal when support is needed quickly. Custom options also available subject to production lead-times.
