A step stool helps a client bridge a height that has become a barrier: getting into a high bed, up a single internal step, or into a vehicle with a tall sill. Splitting one big step into two smaller ones can be the difference between managing at home and needing someone there.
It is a simple item to prescribe and easy to put away, which means it tends to get used. Useful too for a carer who needs a safe platform to reach a high cupboard or to work at the right height beside a bed.
Check that your client has the balance to step up without a hand hold before you settle on this one, since there is nothing to hold on to.
