We’ve recently completed a residential installation at a home in Staffordshire that perfectly showcases the wide range of Multicare’s equipment, and the expertise of our in-house installation team.

The project brings together a full suite of accessible solutions designed to support safe, independent living:

✅ Guldmann GH1 ceiling hoist on a double H-frame system with Combi-Lock connecting the rails for a smooth, continuous transfer route across the bedroom and bathroom which is ideal for daily care routines.

✅ Fixed-height shower bench to make showering and changing safe and comfortable.

✅ Geberit Mera wash-dry toilet which aids hygiene, and independence.

✅ Height-adjustable Ropox A/S Corporate Matrix sink with sensor-activated hot and cold water feeds for safe and adaptable personal care.

✅ A second GH1 hoist on a wall-mounted rail system in the lounge meaning that access and safety is increased throughout all key areas of the home.

This was a large project with every piece of equipment being installed by our own engineers giving the family a consistent, reliable service from initial survey through to final handover. Something that is so important in a domestic environment.

This installation is a great example of how thoughtful design and the right equipment can transform a home into a fully accessible, future-proofed space.

If you’re planning a similar adaptation or need support designing a safe, practical hoisting environment, we’re always here to help.

“The difference this makes to someone is priceless… As a COPD sufferer my Dad had so much difficulty getting up and down the stairs. Not any more. Thank you so much Multicare and of course Rob for the very professional installation."

A Coventry family recently asked Multicare for help when their elderly father, living with COPD, was struggling with the stairs at home. Breathlessness, fatigue, and the daily risk of a fall were turning simple routines into stressful challenges.

After a friendly, no-pressure home visit, our engineer recommended the Ergo Straight stairlift for its smooth ride, compact foldaway design, and discreet fit to the stair treads (meaning no damage to walls or décor). The same engineer returned to complete the installation, giving the family real continuity and peace of mind.

The result? Independence restored!

Earlier this year, we were proud to deliver a full Changing Places facility at Liverpool Football Club which is a project that continues to make a big difference for fans with complex disabilities visiting Anfield.

Working with the Guldmann GH1 ceiling hoist system and using their wall-mounted brackets, our team was able to complete the installation efficiently with no impact on the services above the ceiling. The result is a safe, fully compliant, and accessible space that supports dignity, comfort, and independence for every visitor who relies on these essential facilities.

As a company committed to improving accessibility in public venues, we’re proud to play a part in making matchday experiences more inclusive for all.

If you’re planning a Changing Places facility and need support with design, installation, or equipment selection, our specialist team is here to help.

The Sara Stedy is one of those pieces of equipment that just works!

This clever but simple transfer aid quietly transforms everyday care by supporting safe, comfortable sit-to-stand transfers while keeping the person as active and involved as possible. For many semi-ambulant users, this can make the difference between feeling moved and actually participating in the movement.

By encouraging users to take part in the transfer, the Sara Stedy helps maintain mobility, improve circulation and breathing, and support confidence during rehabilitation. Having the right support around the knees and stable handgrips makes transfers smoother, less strenuous, and safer, and often reduces the need for multiple carers or additional equipment.

Its low-profile chassis makes it easier to position around beds, chairs, recliners and toilets, and the pedal-operated leg opening means it adapts easily to different seating without disrupting the user. Total-lock castors keep everything secure once the transfer begins, providing reassurance for both the user and the caregiver.

The Sara Stedy is one of the most widely used standing aids in hospitals, care homes and private homes, and at Multicare, we keep it in stock for fast nationwide delivery, with VAT relief available where applicable.

If you’d like advice on whether it’s suitable for your environment or a specific individual, our team is always happy to help.

"How do I know which sling loop to use?"

When it comes to hoisting, clarity matters, which is where Slingdicator® sling tags come into play.

The simple, colour-coded sling tagging system that helps carers hoist safely and confidently every time.

Why carer givers love them:

✅ They are brightly coloured, eye-catching, and easy to read
✅ The soft satin material is gentle on the skin and doesn’t affect sling integrity
✅ Tags are washable and durable
✅ Once in place, they are secure and can’t be moved from sling to sling without being cut off
✅ Slingdicators are compatible with most loop slings

Each Slingdicator set includes shoulder and leg tags in a choice of colours:
🔴 Red 🟢 Green 🔵 Blue ⚫ Black ⚪ White 🟠 Orange 🟡 Yellow

These small but mighty slig tags attach in seconds, stay in place, and make every lift safer, clearer, and more consistent for carers and service users alike.

Today, on Purple Tuesday, we stand for accessibility because everyone deserves independence. Purple Tuesday is a global movement championing inclusive and accessible experiences for disabled people and their families.

And with almost 17 % of the world’s population living with a disability, and roughly 24% of people in the UK living with a disability, we know that today isn't just a day to be seen, but a mindset for every day.

When living and public spaces are safe, inclusive, and thoughtfully designed, it prevents isolation, supports dignity, and opens up a world of experiences for everyone.

So, Happy Purple Tuesday, and let’s work together to make accessibility a standard, not an exception. 💜

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of our recent home installations featuring a double H-frame ceiling hoist system with a combi lock. This project was completed over just two days by one of our expert installation engineers.

The system features a Guldmann GH3 continuous charge hoist, providing smooth transfers between the bedroom and bathroom for the homeowner’s daily independence and comfort.

This project was part of a private home adaptation, designed to give the user and their carers safe, effortless movement throughout key areas of the house.

We don’t just install equipment - we design, specify, and fit every system in-house to ensure reliability, safety, and peace of mind for every customer. From complex H-frame systems to discreet single-room hoists, our team provides solutions tailored to each space and individual.

Take a look at the GH3 hoist here: https://multicaremedical.co.uk/products/patient-handling/ceiling-hoists/gh3-ceiling-hoist/

Installing a ceiling hoist at home can be life-changing, but choosing the right system is key to making everyday life easier.

Every home and every user is different. The layout of the space, how the person moves between rooms, and the structure of the ceiling all influence which system will work best. Where a ceiling can’t support the load, a gantry or wall-mounted track can offer the perfect alternative.

Weight capacity, ease of use, and aesthetics are also important. The hoist should suit both the user and carer, feel comfortable to operate, and ideally blend into the home with a discreet or concealed track. Future needs should also be considered to make sure the system continues to support independence for years to come.

At Multicare, our assessors take time to work with OTs to understand each person, home, and care routine before recommending a solution. From assessment and installation to aftercare, everything is handled in-house, giving families and OTs total peace of mind.

Book a free, no-obligation home assessment and get expert advice on creating a safer, more independent space today.
