Book fragment

Housing is the place, building or room suitable for people to live in. But for the user of home help there are other aspects, as this is the place where they spend most of their time.

Decoration is something personal but there are some aspects to be considered, as they will make our home more comfortable and inhabitable. Besides, the needs of the person we work with have to be taken into account.

Technology allows us to have suitable solutions adapted to the needs of each person regarding furniture and many accessories. Thus, we can find a large variety of chairs for the bathroom that may help us in daily grooming and assistance to the person. If the person cannot go to the toilet or take a shower on their regular wheelchair, there is a series of mobile chairs to use in such circumstances.

Cleaning is the action whereby we eliminate dirt from an object or a surface without damaging it, while disinfection is the operation through which we destroy the bacteria present in fluids, objects, thus avoiding their proliferation of these bacteria.
