Simple technical aids in the district of Goms

DomusHelp helps organise practical support to identify, install or refer to simple technical aids that make everyday life at home easier in the district of Goms and Upper Valais. This subcategory concerns non-medical objects and small pieces of equipment: a simple raiser, suitable grab bar, stable seat, non-slip mat, practical handle, additional lighting, visual marker or small accessory that makes certain everyday actions easier. Interventions must remain simple, non-medical, non-structural and adapted to the home.

What this help covers

This help may concern identifying small useful pieces of equipment to simplify certain actions: getting up more easily, seeing a passage more clearly, reducing slips, reaching a commonly used object, securing a light support, improving comfort in a specific place or making an area of the home clearer and more practical.

DomusHelp does not replace a medical, occupational therapy, nursing or specialised technical assessment. In the event of significant loss of mobility, pain, a recent fall, the need for medical equipment, doubt about the safety of a device, heavy fixing, complex drilling or long-term adaptation of the home, the person must be referred to a qualified professional or to the competent services.

Preferred providers

Occupational therapist / home adaptation specialist

Suitable when a truly appropriate technical aid must be chosen, the safety of equipment must be checked, the person’s mobility must be taken into account or several areas of the home must be adapted.

Insured small repair service

Suitable for simple actions: installing a light accessory, placing a visual marker, fixing a non-structural element, improving a passage or setting up a practical aid without heavy work.

Specialised shop / supplier of practical aids

Suitable for obtaining product advice, comparing several solutions, checking dimensions, stability, conditions of use and compatibility with the home.

Before the intervention

  • Clarify the everyday action that the technical aid should make easier.
  • Check whether the person already uses equipment or a temporary solution.
  • Observe the relevant place: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, entrance, corridor or living room.
  • Check stability, height, surface, available space and lighting.
  • Ask whether pain, a recent fall or a significant difficulty already exists.
  • Refuse any intervention if the technical aid requires a specialised assessment.

What DomusHelp does not cover

  • Medical diagnosis or health assessment.
  • Prescription, choice or validation of a medical device.
  • Installation of heavy, structural or complexly fixed equipment.
  • Complete home adaptation without a qualified professional.
  • Intervention if the safety of the technical aid cannot be guaranteed.
