Invacare to offer expert advice on Independent Living at Naidex

BRIDGEND, Wales - April 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Staying healthy, independent and comfortable in later life can be challenging and being aware of the equipment on offer and knowing how to select what’s right is vital. Invacare’s new Think Independence resource, to be launched at Naidex, is a useful source of advice and guidance on keeping your independence for as long as possible.

As part of Invacare’s emphasis on helping consumers, carers and assessors make informed equipment choices, Invacare is offering a drop in advice clinic.  

Supported by ‘The OT Practice’ and run by experienced Occupational Therapists, the clinic will run regularly on Invacare’s stand C90.
