When you're an Occupational Therapist or carer helping someone choose homecare equipment, there’s often a frustrating disconnect between what's available and what's actually right for the client. Choosing the right homecare bed, mattress, or recliner chair can feel like a gamble - especially when you can’t try before you buy.

We’ve seen what happens when that gamble doesn’t pay off... Equipment that doesn’t fit the client or the home. Beds that are too high. Recliners with incorrect measurements, or that don’t support safe transfers. Families overwhelmed. OTs back to the drawing board.

What if we didn’t have to guess anymore?

🚐 The Mobile Showroom That Comes to You

Our Mobile Showroom Service, available across Greater Sydney, is improving how assistive equipment decisions are made. Instead of brochures, showroom trips, or trial-and-error purchasing, clients now have access to fully adjustable homecare beds and motor-powered recliners -  at their doorstep!

It’s more than a convenience. It’s a clinical tool.

By trialling the equipment at the clients home, you get real-time feedback that enhances your functional assessment. It allows for faster decision-making, more confident recommendations, and better long-term outcomes.

🧠 Why At-Home Trials Make Sense

1. No More Guesswork

Assessing a client’s functional needs should never rely on guesswork. Yet without a way to practically test beds or recliners, that’s often the reality. Our mobile showroom solves this issue.

Try-before-you-buy means clients experience the:

• Bed height and adjustments

• Mattress firmness and pressure relief

• Recliner lift mechanism and support

…with their actual mobility level, carers, and environmental constraints in mind.

2. Support OTs in Functional Assessments

For Occupational Therapists, every recommendation needs to be backed by clinical reasoning. The Care Kiosk's Mobile Showroom offers in-person equipment trials that can directly inform your NDIS reporting. It becomes an extension of your assessment toolkit. 

You can be involved as much or as little as you prefer: join the visit, guide remotely, or review feedback post-trial.

3. Reduce Risk of Equipment Mismatch

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from both OTs and families is getting the equipment home… and then realising it’s just not right.

By trialling at home:

• Clients feel confident before committing

• OTs avoid the burden of fixing a poor fit

• Families feel empowered, not overwhelmed
  

⚕️ Who This Helps Most

This service is ideal for:

• OTs working in community aged care or NDIS/Disability Support

• Families supporting an elderly parent at home

• Clients transitioning from hospital and needing fast, safe equipment decisions

• Carers struggling to coordinate mobility needs with comfort

If you're navigating Sydney’s aged care, NDIS or disability support landscape, our mobile showroom is here to simplify the process with empathy and professionalism.
