Aged care equipment in Concord
Concord Repatriation General Hospital is on Hospital Road in Concord, and when someone comes home needing more care than before, the bedroom is usually where the setup starts. Allcare Warehouse supplies aged care equipment in Concord and across Sydney, including home care beds, pressure care mattresses, hoists and slide sheets. Our nearest location is the Croydon Park store at 44 Georges River Rd, and we deliver to Concord homes. Call 1300 767 777 to talk through a bedroom setup.
Setting up a bedroom for care at home
When a person spends much of the day in bed, three things make the biggest difference to them and to whoever is helping: the bed, the mattress and a safe way to move them.
Home care beds
A home care bed adjusts in height and raises the backrest, so a carer can work at a comfortable level and the person can sit up. Our home care beds include several Icare models, and our home care bed guide explains how to choose one.
Pressure care mattresses
Healthdirect notes that a special mattress, used together with regular changes of position, can help with pressure sores. Our mattress range includes CuroCell, ActiveX and other pressure care models.
Transfer and lifting aids
For someone who cannot stand to move from bed to chair, patient lifting equipment such as a hoist and sling takes the strain off the carer. Lower-level aids such as slide sheets help with repositioning in bed. Read our guide to a patient hoist at home before choosing one.
Aged care equipment for carers in Concord
When setting up aged care equipment in Concord, carers often need small items as much as large ones: an over-bed table for meals, a bed rail for support, or a bedside commode for night-time. If the person qualifies for government aged care, equipment may be included after an assessment through My Aged Care.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need advice before using a hoist at home?
Yes. A hoist and sling should be chosen and used as shown by a health professional, usually an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. Allcare supplies the equipment but does not assess or train, so arrange that advice before the hoist arrives.
Is a home care bed the same as a hospital bed?
They do a similar job. A home care bed adjusts height and backrest like a hospital bed, but is designed to sit in a home bedroom. Measure the room and doorways before choosing, and give us those measurements when you call.
Is there a bed for a carer who stays overnight?
Yes. Our companion beds are designed to let a carer or family member stay close by overnight. Call 1300 767 777 to talk through the room size and which setup would fit.
Can we order smaller items with the bed?
Yes. Mention them when you call about the bed, so the team can go through the whole bedroom setup with you in one call.
