行動不便（中風後）長者的家居改建 Home modifications for the elderly with limited mobility (post-stroke)

80多歲的李伯伯曾經中風入院，經過一段時間的治療幸好康復回到家。
我們受伯伯家人的交託，以簡單而切合實際需要為目標去整頓家居。

✅我們先到伯伯的家視察，發現第一個最大問題是燈光嚴重不足，無論是廚房吊櫃底的燈、全屋的天花燈或櫃燈，都是燈膽壞了或燈飾太過殘舊而燒了，完全失去了照明的功能。

✅其實長者的家居，充足的光線、照明是十分重要的。

✅通道加建扶手，形成一條復健走廊，讓他進出房間及厠所都方便和安心。

✅另一個最大的改建是主人厠的浴缸，由於伯伯行動不太方便提腳，經過醫護的意見，拆去了原有浴缸改建成新浴扇，並於浴室及冲涼間加建扶手及防滑地磚；而浴室更添置了浴室寶，既可以讓室溫保持溫暖之外，也能夠為整個浴室的調節合適的乾爽，避免了浴室因太潮濕而容易滑到的風險。

✅最後，給用戶一些基本資料作保存，例如是大門入口、廚房、厠所、主人房以及通道的尺寸，以防再往後的日子需要有其他助行器協助的情況下也能有足夠空間進出進入。


Uncle Li, who is 80 years old, once suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. After a period of treatment, he recovered and returned home.

✅We were entrusted by Uncle Li's family to organize his home with simple and practical goals.

We first inspected his home and found that the first and biggest problem was a serious lack of lighting.
Whether it was the lights under the kitchen hang cabinets, the ceiling lights or hang cabinet lights throughout the house, the bulbs were broken or the lighting fixtures were too old and burned with completely lost its lighting function.

✅In fact, adequate lighting is very important in the elderly’s home.

✅Handrails were added to the passage to form a rehabilitation corridor, making it convenient and safe for him to enter and exit the room and toilet.

✅The other biggest renovation was the bathtub in the master bathroom. Since it was difficult for Uncle Li to move around and lift his feet, after receiving medical advice, the original bathtub was decided to remove and rebuilt into a new bath shower area.
✅Handrails and non-slip floor tiles were added in the bathroom and shower room. The bathroom also has a new thermo ventilator which can not only keep the room temperature warm, but also adjust the entire bathroom to a suitable dryness, avoiding the risk of the bathroom slipping due to being too humid.

✅Finally, we gave the user some basic information as recorded , such as the dimensions of the entrance, kitchen, toilet, master room and passage, so that there is enough space to enter and exit in case easily apply the walking aid assist in the future when need.
