Care Home Mobility Solutions

You need dependable mobility equipment that keeps your residents safe and maintains their independence. Obam Stairlifts works with care homes across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Humberside, South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and Derbyshire to provide stairlift and mobility installations that meet regulatory requirements and resident needs.

Why Care Homes Choose Obam

Since 2000, we have built trusted partnerships with care home operators throughout the country. Our team understands the specific challenges of residential care environments, from regulatory compliance to managing diverse resident needs.

Our advisors assess each facility individually. They recommend solutions that work for your building layout, resident profile, and operational requirements. With years of experience, we know how to deliver installations that pass inspections and serve residents well.

Our Solutions for Care Homes

Straight Stairlifts for Multi-Level Care

Your multi-level care home needs reliable access between floors. Our straight stairlifts handle regular daily use while operating quietly enough for residential environments. These units work smoothly for residents with varying mobility levels.

Each installation includes comprehensive staff training on operation and safety procedures. Emergency stop features and safety sensors protect residents during use. Regular maintenance keeps your stairlifts operating reliably for years.

Curved Stairlifts for Period Properties

Many care homes operate in converted period buildings with curved or complex staircases. Our curved stairlifts are built specifically for each staircase, following every turn and change in direction. This means all floors remain accessible to residents.

Each curved installation is measured precisely and manufactured to fit your exact staircase layout. The smooth operation reduces anxiety for residents who may be apprehensive about using mechanical aids. Multiple stopping points allow access to different floor levels.

Hoists for Resident Transfer Needs

Your care team needs safe transfer solutions for residents with limited mobility. Our hoists reduce manual handling risks while maintaining resident dignity during transfers.

Ramps for Internal and External Access

Steps and thresholds create barriers for residents using wheelchairs and walking aids. Our ramp systems provide safe access throughout your facility. We supply permanent installations and portable solutions for temporary needs.

Internal ramps handle doorway thresholds and level changes between rooms. External ramps provide access to gardens and patios for residents who enjoy outdoor time. Each ramp meets safety gradients and weight requirements.

Outdoor Stairlifts for Garden Access

Your residents value access to outdoor spaces for well-being and social activities. Our outdoor stairlifts withstand weather conditions while providing reliable garden access. These units have weatherproof covers and corrosion-resistant components.

Outdoor installations consider your landscaping and drainage requirements. Regular maintenance includes weather protection checks to ensure long-term reliability.

24/7 Emergency Support for Care Homes

Your residents cannot wait for equipment repairs. Our true 24/7 engineer service means you speak directly to a qualified engineer, not a call centre. This speeds up diagnosis and gets equipment working quickly.

Emergency callouts often happen the same day, minimising disruption to resident care routines. Our engineers carry common spare parts and understand the urgency of care home repairs.

Installation Planning for Active Facilities

Care home installations require careful planning around resident routines and care activities. We coordinate with your staff to minimise disruption during installation work.

Pre-installation surveys identify the best timing for each phase of work. Our engineers work efficiently and clean up thoroughly after each day’s work. Temporary access arrangements keep residents safe during installation.

Staff Training and Competency

Your care team needs confidence to operate equipment safely. Our training programmes cover equipment operation, safety procedures, and basic troubleshooting. We provide certificates for staff competency records.

Training sessions can be scheduled around shift patterns to ensure all relevant staff receive instruction. Refresher training is available when you have new staff members or equipment updates.

Regulatory Compliance and Documentation

Care home inspections require proper equipment documentation. We provide certificates, maintenance records, and safety compliance documents that support your inspection requirements.

Regular safety checks and maintenance records demonstrate your commitment to resident safety and equipment compliance. Our documentation integrates with your quality assurance systems.

Planned Maintenance Programmes

Equipment reliability is essential in care environments. Our maintenance contracts include scheduled visits, safety inspections, and priority emergency response. Fixed annual costs help with budget planning.

Preventive maintenance identifies potential problems before they cause equipment failures. Our engineers know your equipment history and can recommend upgrades or replacements when appropriate.

Resident and Family Communication

Equipment installations can concern residents and their families. We provide clear information about how new equipment works and the safety benefits it provides. This reduces anxiety and builds confidence.
