Helping a parent stay comfortable at home
This is a shop note from APOLOGIA PROVIDERS PTY LTD, ABN 50 160 412 368. It is not an independent article, and it is not medical advice.
You are the adult child doing the shopping for a parent who is staying at home. The rooms need a few practical things.
The shower floor is wet, the hall is dark after nine, and tablets sit in three cupboards. You check the prices here before you pay.
Every price below is the goods price in Australian dollars. GST is not charged. You pay that goods total with PayPal.
The bathroom
A wet floor is the first thing you notice.
The Non-Slip Bath Mat is $29.00 AUD. It is a grey mat with suction cups. You press the cups onto a clean, smooth shower base. It will not grip every textured surface. After it is down, check that it holds, and replace it if the cups stop holding.
The Shower Chair is $149.00 AUD. The photograph shows a white chair with a backrest and a wheel on each leg, and no armrests. It is a seat, not a lifting device. Measure the doorway and the shower base before you order.
The bedroom and the hall
Getting up is a different job from washing.
The Bed Safety Rail is $119.00 AUD. The photograph shows a white metal rail alone on a white background. You are buying the rail. Fit depends on the bed frame. If that detail will decide the order, email support@aplogia.com before you pay.
The Night Light is $38.00 AUD. It is a moon lamp, a glowing sphere on a round wooden base, for the hall. The photograph shows one light.
The Reacher Grabber is $32.00 AUD, for something on the floor or a high shelf when a step stool is a poor idea. The photograph shows a blue and black reacher with a claw, unpackaged, on a white background. It is for light household objects, not for a person and not for heavy loads.
Tablets through the week
The Daily Pill Box is $28.00 AUD. The photograph shows one white plastic box with four empty compartments in a row, and no printed day letters. You fill the compartments. The person at home opens the section that matches the time of day. There is no motor and no alarm. It does not release tablets on a timer.
The Weekly Med Organizer is $22.00 AUD. The photograph shows English day names on the lids: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, and Sat. You fill it on a quiet afternoon. It is a planning box, not a reminder service. It will not call anyone if a dose is missed.
The Caregiver Organizer Bag is $34.00 AUD. The photograph shows a plain beige canvas zip pouch with no print. You pack the notes, a charger, and the day's medicines yourself. Contents are not included.
Home readings
Home readings are numbers you can show a doctor or a pharmacist. They are not a diagnosis, and this shop does not read them.
The BP Monitor is $69.00 AUD. The photograph shows an upper-arm monitor with a blank screen, a cuff, and a tube. Take readings the way the instructions describe, usually seated and still. If a reading worries you, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. This shop does not provide medical care.
The Pulse Oximeter is $45.00 AUD. The photograph shows one fingertip pulse oximeter on a white background. The display is blank and the body has no printed words. It shows oxygen saturation and pulse as a home reading. If someone is short of breath or suddenly unwell, contact a doctor or emergency service. Do not rely on this device alone. We do not claim these products are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
What to expect
Photographs show the kind of object, not a promise about packaging, colour, or exact fittings.
The PayPal total is the goods price in AUD. Card numbers are entered on PayPal, not on this site. Freight to Australia and Europe is confirmed by email before dispatch and is not included in that total. We do not publish a flat freight rate.
If you are in Australia, the Australian Consumer Law applies to faulty goods. If you are in Europe, you keep the mandatory rights of your country. Email support@aplogia.com and describe the problem. Payment questions go to billing@aplogia.com.
Nothing here promises that a parent will be safer, or that a room will feel different, because of a purchase. These are ordinary household goods. You still decide what fits the house.
