Revolutionise home care with Bunnings' latest aged care and disability support range
- Replies 0
As we age or face the challenges of living with a disability, our homes, which once felt perfectly designed for our needs, can start to present obstacles that make daily life more difficult.
Recognising this, Bunnings, a household name for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike, has taken a significant step to cater to the needs of older Australians and individuals with disabilities by expanding its product range to include assisted living items.
The new range boasts an impressive selection of over 2,500 products across 16 categories.
These categories encompass various home areas, including bathroom and bedroom safety, ramps for easier access, smart home devices for enhanced control and convenience, and daily living aids that support independence and comfort.
Ryan Baker, Bunnings' Chief Operating Officer, expressed the company's commitment to meeting the unique needs of these communities.
'We understand that living with a disability or as an older Australian can present unique challenges,' he said.
'The Assisted Living range seeks to offer solutions to our customers who are looking to make their homes a space that's tailored to them.'
According to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), more than 5.5 million people live with a disability in Australia, and over one in six Australians are aged 65 and over.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) records indicate that 4.3 million people have a disability nationwide, with an expected increase of 500,000 individuals receiving funding in the next five years.
Bunnings has recognised the significant market size and the 'huge potential' in this 'growing category.'
In a fragmented sector, Bunnings aims to provide a comprehensive, one-stop shopping experience for customers looking to make their homes safer and more comfortable without sacrificing style or breaking the bank.
'The range is focused on safety, style and current trends as well as functionality because we know our customers want choice when it comes to their homes,' Baker added.
The new items are now available in-store, online, and on the Bunnings Marketplace.
For those accessing government support, Bunnings offers proforma invoicing, which can be a helpful service for managing expenses and reimbursements.
Bunnings' initiative is not just about selling products; it's about empowering individuals to maintain their independence and quality of life.
It's about providing practical and aesthetically pleasing options, ensuring that necessary modifications don't detract from a home's warmth and style.
We at the Seniors Discount Club are excited about this development and encourage our members to explore the range.
Whether you're looking for grab rails that blend seamlessly with your bathroom decor, a ramp that makes entry and exit a breeze or smart devices that put control at your fingertips, Bunnings' new range could enhance your home environment.
