Handy Daily Living Aids for Independent Living

We are happy to announce that the Independent Living Service is teaming up with the GrownUps Family. The Independent Living Service is an Auckland based not-for-profit community organisation which has been serving Auckland for over 32 years from its facility in Royal Oak.

ILS provides all sorts of support to people who might be recovering from an accident, surgery or simply finding that time and age is starting to take its toll! We are here to offer support in terms of information and guidance, including a wide variety of equipment and products available to assist you at home or at work to continue to achieve Independent Living and getting on with daily life.

 
Independent Living Service has recently gone through some big changes. We now have a mobile service that comes out into the community, meeting more needs and more people than ever before. This travelling showroom displays over 200 small every day assistive products and is presented in an entertaining and interactive way and can be seen daily across Auckland. We appear in all sorts of location and places. Retirement Villages, Probus groups, 50’s up clubs, Church groups or other social groups will often book to see us.

It gives people the opportunity to get up close to try different gadgets and learn about what is available to make everyday tasks that little bit easier. For example, a simple task like putting on socks in the morning may seem like no big deal to some people, but to others, is one big mean feat in the morning. We have a simple device to eliminate this frustration.

Meanwhile, back in the showroom we have a call centre with information consultants available to take your calls and a showroom team that can take you through our wide variety of products for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room and garden. They can even give advice about recommended heights for grab rails and other modifications around the home. We also demonstrate products like mobility scooters and walkers – we even have product as basic as a jar opener to assist with those stubborn lids we can all struggle with from time to time. We are experts in this type of equipment and will be able to guide you in selecting the best product to suit your particular need, whether for purchase or for hire.

If you are interested in inviting our exciting new Mobile Service to your next social gathering or support group, simply call 0800 625 100 for more information.

Or, if you prefer to pop into our showroom we still have the largest showroom in New Zealand and would love to see you at 14 Erson Ave, Royal Oak, Auckland. Or visit us at our shop online store which is open 24/7 on www.ilsnz.org.
