When choosing a homecare bed or recliner chair, many clients and carers are flying blind. As an Occupational Therapist or family member supporting someone through aged or disability care, there's a good chance you’ve experienced the frustration firsthand.
A glossy brochure and good intentions alone aren’t enough when someone’s comfort, mobility, and wellbeing is diminished.
We see it often... beds that are too high, recliners that don’t support safe transfers, mattresses that cause more pain than relief.
Sadly, it’s usually after the product has been delivered that these issues come to light... when it’s too late or too costly to make a change.
Thanks to The Care Kiosk, there’s now a smarter, simpler way to get it right.
💡 The Problem: Homecare Equipment Without a Trial Is Guesswork
Whether you’re an OT recommending equipment or a family member advocating for a loved one, the decision around homecare beds and recliners is huge. The big issue is that these decisions often happen:
-
Without trying the product at all
-
In showrooms that are hard or daunting to get to
-
Under time pressure from hospital discharge or urgent needs
-
With limited support around what features truly matter
And when the product doesn’t suit??
Clients feel disempowered, carers lose confidence, and OTs are stuck trying to fix costly mistakes.
🚐 The Solution: A Mobile Showroom That Comes to You
The Care Kiosk's Sydney-based Mobile Showroom was launched with one primary goal - to make choosing the right homecare bed, mattress, or recliner easier and safer for OTs, carers and clients.
Instead of reading specs on a brochure or screen, or visiting a hard-to-get-to showroom across town; clients can now try out fully adjustable electric beds and power lift recliners inside our Mobile Showroom at their own Sydney home.
Here’s how it works:
-
We bring the equipment to the client’s doorstep – No need for transport or disruption.
-
An advisor supports the trial – We walk the client, the OT and the carer through all the options.
-
You can be involved – As the OT or carer, you’re welcome to attend or guide the process remotely.
-
Clients try before they buy – Comfort, transfers, controls and mattress feel are all tested in real life.
It’s a hands-on, no-pressure
👥 Real People. Real Outcomes.
We’ve already supported dozens of OTs, carers and families across Sydney who were unsure about which bed or recliner would be best. With the mobile showroom, they’ve been able to:
-
Avoid purchasing the wrong height bed
-
Choose a mattress that feels and functions right
-
Trial a recliner chair to test suitability, functionality and transfer ease
-
Make the best decision with complete confidence
One OT told us: “It’s a relief to recommend something I know my client has already tested. There’s less anxiety for everyone involved."
✅ Why It Matters (Especially in Aged Care & NDIS Support)
For clients navigating aged care in Sydney or receiving NDIS support, purchasing large-ticket items can be overwhelming. For OTs working under tight timelines and with diverse needs, the risk of recommending something that won’t work is stressful.
By offering a “try before you buy” model, we’re removing the guesswork and helping OTs, clients and carers make informed, confident decisions that improve long-term outcomes.
