As parents age, maintaining safe movement becomes one of the biggest factors in preserving independence and quality of life. Something as simple as standing up, walking to the kitchen, or getting out into the community can feel uncertain without the right support. For families, concerns about falls, equipment reliability, and whether mobility aids are properly fitted can weigh heavily.
At Home Carers, we see how the right mobility support can transform daily life — restoring confidence, reducing risk, and helping older adults remain active and engaged. That’s why we’re pleased to feature Mobility Services Ltd, a trusted New Zealand provider specialising in mobility equipment servicing, repairs, and maintenance, as well as supplying walkers, wheelchairs, and mobility scooters. Their expertise ensures older people have reliable, safe equipment they can depend on every day.

In addition to servicing, Mobility Services Ltd operates a well-stocked showroom at 29 Shakespeare Road, Waltham, Christchurch, offering walkers, wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, and mobility scooters available for sale or hire.

How Mobility Services Ltd Supports Older People
Reliable mobility equipment plays a critical role in safety and independence. Mobility Services Ltd supports older adults by ensuring their equipment works as it should — every day.
They help older people by:
- Providing regular servicing and preventative maintenance for mobility equipment
- Carrying out prompt repairs to minimise disruption and risk
- Supporting equipment funded through Enable NZ and ACC
- Supplying walkers, wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, and mobility scooters
- Offering hire options for short-term or transitional needs
- Ensuring equipment is safe, well-maintained, and fit for purpose
With properly serviced equipment, older adults can move more confidently, reduce the risk of falls, and stay active both at home and in the community.
How Home Carers Complements Their Work
While Mobility Services Ltd ensures mobility equipment is safe and reliable, Home Carers supports older adults with the daily use of that equipment in real-life settings.
Our carers can assist with safe transfers, walking support, correct use of walkers or wheelchairs, and gentle encouragement to stay mobile within comfort limits. We also notice when equipment may no longer be meeting a client’s needs and can flag this early to families or providers. By working alongside Mobility Services Ltd, we help ensure mobility aids are not only well-maintained — but used confidently and safely each day.
Together, Mobility Services Ltd and Home Carers create a strong foundation for independence, safety, and peace of mind.
