高齡化社會到來,許多長輩生活上需要他人照顧,但只靠家人進行居家照護,不僅吃力,照顧過程中又容易發生危險。今天台北市社會局,召開記者會,推廣所新推出的四項新輔具,有的能幫行動不便的老人翻身,或是防止老人走失的手錶等等,都能減輕照護者的負擔。 

這條翻身帶,只要綁在長輩身上,要從輪椅換位子還是翻身,家屬都可以輕易做到,另外還有這個能防止老人家滑落輪椅的墊子,最後還有這隻好看的白色手錶,它就是個人衛星定位器,預防失智症老人走失。

“這些行動輔具主要都是用再翻身移位,跟上下樓部分,那這是我們103年新增的項目,透過這樣照顧的輔具,可以提升照顧者的一個安全”

想要使用新推出的輔具,只要民眾帶著老人來社會局申請失能評估,通後就可以進行申請,社會局還會看家庭狀況,給予補助。

The Taipei Department of Social Welfare has announced new subsidies for four types of assistive devices. Included are aids for getting in and out of a wheelchair and a watch to help track lost elderly people. 

This strap makes it easier for an elderly person to get in and out of a wheelchair or simply stand up. Another convenient item is this non-slip wheelchair mat. And there’s this white watch, which acts as a GPS device to provide location data for elderly people suffering from dementia who are prone to becoming lost.
