Products for Jacy
Jacy suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was six and is paralyzed from the waist down. He’s able to use his hands to control a powered wheelchair, but he hasn’t got enough motor control to feed himself and requires full time attended care. As he continues to grow the physical demands on his caregivers steadily increase, so his family will need to re-model the house and install fixed lifts to give him the best possible quality of life.
” For people like Jacy we need to install specific combinations of devices which are tailored to meet their needs. Often this will involve a site visit to inspect the premises and look at the exact situation. Depending on the circumstances recommendations can range from relatively minor modifications to a full scale re-modelling of the home. We might also recommend installing specialized devices such as pool lifts or porch elevators.”
