You found the perfect mobility device—but will it actually work for you? In Part 2 of this episode, occupational therapists Emilia Bourland and Brandy Archie dive into two often-overlooked questions that can make or break your success: Does the equipment fit your home, and does it truly fit you? From bathroom layouts and flooring to balance, cognition, and proper sizing, learn how to avoid common—and costly—mistakes so you can choose equipment that improves safety, independence, and everyday life. Grounded in real-world OT experience, this episode will help you make smarter mobility decisions with confidence.AskSAMIE – Adaptive Equipment & Aging-in-Place Tools: https://www.asksamie.comHigher Standards Caregiver Training (OT-led): https://www.higherstandardscaregivertraining.comCareLab Episodes & Resources: https://www.carelabpodcast.comDisclaimer: The following CareLab podcast does not provide health or medical advice.
