The bed is the next thing, and yes it will be one that goes up and down and bends. Some just look like a normal bed as it has a normal base around the sides and you can get a matching bed head for it. Also the OT it looking for a mattress that fills with air but has a foam top. It would make it easier for Mario to transition from the normal mattress he has now to the other one. I am thankful that we have a person to manage it for us getting OT, physio, builders, Outside lift company etc, as it would have been to much for me. as looking after him/business/house. But I am managing thing fine at the moment.
I really think they should also have fellow disabled folks working there as I think that will improve so much. It took me 12 months of hoop jumping to get on ndis, which I did finally start of March. My OT is amazing and plan lady is lovely. So far I've only have the wheelchair being built (using a borrowed one right now) they pushed that through so fast once was on the system. I haven't got any support workers yet with the current world apocolypse. But also have some bathroom mod funds too but not sure how to actually use the funds. I have to have a driving assessment with an driving OT too in my car which once it's all mechanically safe again, I can. Will be fitting and exploring more suitable mods and a lift in the back to lift wheelchair in and out
