Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Epilepsy
Epilepsy affects everyone differently, and for many people the main concern is staying safe at home if a seizure happens, particularly in the bathroom, on the stairs and at night. The right equipment and a few simple adaptations can reduce risks and give you and your family more peace of mind.
For epilepsy information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.
Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

We’ll talk through your needs, your home and your daily routine, and help you and your care team choose mobility equipment that genuinely fits.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Showering is generally safer than bathing, and sitting down to wash reduces the risk of injury from a fall. A shower stool or shower commode chair gives a secure seat, and a level-access wet room removes the step into the bath and makes it easier for someone to help.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Contour Shower Stool, Swivel Shower Stool, Ocean VIP Ergo and Wet Room solutions.
Home Modifications and Safety Products
Grab rails provide something to hold when you feel unwell, and a stairlift or homelift reduces the risk of a fall on the stairs. Ramps remove trip hazards at doorways.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Straight Stairlift, the Homelift and Ramps.
Beds and Seating
A lower bed height can reduce the distance of a fall at night, so ask our Trusted Assessors which of our home care beds would suit you. A supportive chair with arms gives a safe place to rest after a seizure.
Shop our Beds and Riser Recliners ranges, including the Signature Select.
Getting Out and About
If seizures or tiredness afterwards affect how far you can walk, a lightweight transit wheelchair lets a companion help you get home safely, and a walking stick gives extra support.
Shop our Wheelchairs and Walking Aids ranges, including the Ergo Lite 2 Transit and Folding Walking Stick. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Alarms and Assistive Technology
Seizure alarms, bed sensors and wearable alerts can let family or carers know if a seizure happens, and medication reminders help with keeping to routines. Your healthcare team can advise on what suits you.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs can change over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Wheelchairs can often be adapted with extra accessories, and our team can adjust and service equipment to keep it safe, comfortable and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories and Wheelchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and servicing.
Using a combination of these products can help make your home safer and give you and your family more peace of mind while living with epilepsy. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
