Mobility and Living Aids
We sell a range of high quality mobility and living aids, from hand rails to stairlifts and our dedicated staff will take time to understand your needs and explain how things work. Our biggest showroom is at our shop in Woolshops (open 9:30am-4pm Mon-Fri and 10am-3pm Saturdays).
We can even come and visit you at home if necessary.
We also have a handyperson team who can deliver, explain and install equipment for you!

Find out how we helped Jean:
Jean White lives in Brighouse. After a spell in hospital our Home from Hospital team visited her to help with shopping, household admin, sorting home adaptations and general reassurance, as Jean had lost much of her confidence.
A while later, Jean was feeling trapped inside her house as her driveway is very steep and she didn’t feel able to tackle it un-aided.
Her family is very supportive but they do not live locally so they decided to contact the Home from Hospital team who had been so helpful in the first place, to see if they could help out again.
They referred her to our Mobility Dept, who installed a handrail up the side of Jean’s drive.
‘Thanks to Age UK, now I can get out and remind myself that there is still a world outside my front door!’ said Jean
