Inclusive playground activities for children with wheelchairs

Every kid deserves the joy of outdoor play!

Here are some quick ideas to make playtime inclusive for wheelchair users:

🌟 Engage their senses with musical instruments, rollers, accessible sandboxes, and adapted gardening.

🌟 Special swing sets with secure harnesses and high-back seats offer safe and comfortable fun.

🌟 Accessible merry-go-rounds let everyone spin together, creating lasting memories.

🌟 Create an accessible course using cones, chalk, and safe objects for teamwork or individual fun.

A day at the park or exploring the outdoors can leave a wheelchair dirty with dust, grass, and maybe even a bit of mud.

While a quick wipe-down after each use is good, a regular clean is important to maintain hygiene and keep your child's wheelchair in top condition.

Contact us today to schedule a deep clean and keep the fun rolling!

An international study in Cleveland, Ohio, revealed that shared wheelchairs in hospitals and facilities can become breeding grounds for bacteria and germs.

Here's the breakdown:

👉 Manual wheelchair users touch their wheels up to 1000x a day: This constant contact exposes them to a multitude of germs throughout the day.

👉 Reduced immunity: Many wheelchair users have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections.

👉 Contamination with pathogens: Shared wheelchairs have been found to carry germs like Clostridium difficile (C. Diff), which can cause diseases in the large intestine.

What can you do as an OT?

✅ Regularly maintain wheelchairs after each use by wiping it down and deep cleaning them every 3 months.

✅ Educate your staff on proper cleaning procedures and educate patients about the potential health risks associated with dirty wheelchairs.

At Pure Wheelchairs, we partner with Facility Managers and OTs for hospital-grade deep clean solutions of shared mobility aids. Our process fully eliminates bacteria, allergens, and dirt, ensuring a clean and safe wheelchair for everyone.

Here are some spring cleaning tips to make your home a place for safe and independent living:

🌟 Rearrange for manoeuvrability: Consider rearranging furniture to create ample space for using your wheelchair comfortably.

🌟 Invest in smart tools: Utilise extended cleaning tools and robotic vacuums to tackle hard-to-reach areas without straining yourself.

🌟 Eliminate fall hazards: Declutter your home and remove tripping hazards like loose cords, throw rugs, and clutter on the floor.

🌟 Upgrade for safety: Spring is a great time to add grab bars and shower chairs to your bathroom, promoting safety in a high-risk zone.

🌟 Don't be afraid to ask! Enlist the help of family or friends to make cleaning less overwhelming.

Here's what a hospital-grade clean can do for your wheelchair!

If you or someone you know hasn't had a wheelchair deep-clean in a while, a hospital-grade clean from Pure Wheelchairs can work wonders:

✅ Deep Sanitisation
Our steam cleaning process utilises high temperatures (170°C) with minimal moisture (only 5% humidity) to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and pathogens, including viruses like Covid-19.

✅ Biofilm Removal
Over time, wheelchairs can develop biofilms - microscopic colonies of bacteria that resist traditional cleaning methods. Our hospital-grade steam breaks through these biofilms, destroying the bacteria within for a truly thorough clean.

✅ Fast Turnaround
Unlike traditional cleaning methods, our steam process dries quickly, leaving your wheelchair ready to use within minutes of completion.

Winter throws a curveball at everyone when it comes to navigating the outdoors. But for wheelchair users, the challenges can be even greater.

Slippery surfaces, frigid temperatures, and the need to winterise your equipment can make getting around a real obstacle course!

If you or someone you know struggles during the winter months, here are some essential tips to stay safe and mobile:

👉 Layer Up
This might seem obvious, but it's especially crucial for wheelchair users who sit for extended periods. Circulation can be affected, making it harder to maintain body temperature. Dress in layers for easy adjustment, and if you use a manual wheelchair, waterproof gloves are essential for gripping snow-covered wheels.

👉 Gear Up
Consider investing in winter tires for your wheelchair. These tires, typically made with soft rubber and knobby treads, provide superior traction on slippery surfaces.

👉 Power Up
Cold weather can significantly impact battery life. If you rely on a power wheelchair, ensure you have a fully charged backup battery.

A regular deep clean from Pure Wheelchairs can help your wheelchair run smoothly all winter long. Schedule a clean today and ensure a safe, comfortable, and reliable ride!

Overcoming incontinence as a wheelchair user presents unique challenges, such as finding accessible restrooms and managing incontinence products while on the move. This can lead to tough choices like staying home or limiting fluid intake. To help manage incontinence confidently, consider these practical tips:

✅ Establish a Bathroom Routine: Scheduled bathroom breaks reduce accidents. Keeping a bladder or bowel care diary may help.

✅ Fluid Management: Balancing hydration with strategic timing can manage incontinence without sacrificing water intake. Drinking frequent small sips may help.

✅ Dietary Adjustments: Track how foods affect your bladder and bowel and adjust your diet accordingly. High-fiber foods are beneficial, but may exacerbate f***l incontinence. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods can help prevent irritation and fluid retention.

✅ Be Prepared: Know accessible restroom locations and carry a backup kit of clothes and supplies, including catheters, hand sanitiser, and wet wipes.

✅ Public Bathroom Hygiene: Use hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes to reduce germ transfer. Wipe down handrails and toilet seats before use to prevent UTIs and bacterial transfer.

✅ Protecting Your Chair: Use disposable waterproof sheets or other covers to protect your chair from accidents.
At Pure Wheelchairs, we understand the challenges of living with incontinence as a wheelchair user and aim to support you in overcoming them.

Facing challenges in making your home wheelchair-friendly? You're not alone. With over 193,600 Australians using wheelchairs, creating an accessible living space is crucial for independence and quality of life.

Here are some key changes to consider for a more wheelchair-friendly home:

👉 Widen Doors: Ensure doorways are at least 81.28 cm wide for easy access.

👉 Install Ramps and Handrails: Replace steps with ramps and add handrails for support.

👉 Detachable Shower Head: This may seem obvious to some, but a removable shower head in your bathroom allows for easier showering and increases independence. Always make sure it is at a reachable height after showering.

👉 Clear Pathways: Keep hallways and rooms clutter-free to allow smooth movement.

👉 Adjust Counter Heights: Modify sinks and counters for under-chair access.

👉 Choose Accessible Flooring: Opt for hardwood, ceramic tiles, or low-pile carpets to ease wheelchair movement.

👉 Lower Light Switches: Light switches located high up on walls are common in homes. If possible, home modifications can help to make these more accessible.

👉 Furniture Seating - Sofas and chairs that are too soft, low or high may be uncomfortable to get in and out of, choose firmer seating at the appropriate height in your home (however, not too firm to cause pressure sores) for easier manageability.

👉 Assistive Technology - Reaching sticks, Smart technology, sensory lighting, adaptive kitchen gadgets and toilet raisers are just a few examples of how one can use assistive technology around the home to maximise accessibility and independence.

While these tips are a great start, maintaining a clean and hygienic wheelchair is just as crucial for ensuring independence and comfort. At Pure Wheelchairs, we specialise in professional wheelchair cleaning services that complement your efforts to create a barrier-free living environment.

Contact us at https://www.purewheelchairs.com.au/book-online or give us a call at 0410 614 183 and together, we can enhance the quality of life for wheelchair users.
