Mobility products hire and cleaning services for an Easy Summer
The summer holidays bring added complexity to Villages and residents. Staff levels are lower as the team take a well-earned break. Residents leave the village to stay with family or friends. Infectious outbreak risks are heightened.
s a result, there is an increased demand for wheelchairs and walkers, commodes and other mobility items. Plus, just at the time that staffing levels are stretched, so too is the need for thoroughly clean mobility and assistive products.
