Aged Care Equipment Guides
Choosing the right aged care equipment makes a real difference, both to the person being cared for and to the carers and nurses looking after them. These practical guides explain what each type of product does, who it suits and what to think about before you buy. They are written for nurses, OTs, physiotherapists, aged care managers and families caring at home.
Every guide is based on Pelican’s own range. We have been designing and making care products in Osborne Park, Western Australia, since 1987. If you can’t find what you need, talk to our team or browse all products.
