Storage, portability, and safety are three challenges that are regularly raised when it comes to hoists in schools, care homes, and family homes.

Schools often struggle with limited storage space. Care teams need equipment that can be moved easily between rooms. And above all, every transfer must protect both the dignity of the patient and the safety of the care giver.

Designed with these articular challenges in mind, the Advance Folding Hoist:

Folds down quickly without tools, making it easy to store in small spaces
Has a lightweight aluminium frame for simple transport without compromising strength
Features a swan neck leg design for wheelchair compatibility while keeping feet clear of the motor
Has a safe working load of155kg to handle everyday lifting needs with confidence

For OTs and care teams, that means less compromise, more flexibility, and safer outcomes for service users. That’s why the award-winning Advance is trusted in schools, care settings, and community environments across the UK.

Take a look at this fantastic new straight stairlift installation, recently completed by one of our stairlift engineers, Robert Gearey



The folding seat, armrests, and footplate are clever space-saving features, keeping the stairs fully accessible when not in use. And because it’s battery-powered, this client can still access their entire home even during a power cut.



For many families, the stairs can quietly become one of the biggest daily challenges. Adding a stairlift brings back safety, confidence, and independence.



At Multicare, we provide a wide choice of models, configurations, and customisations to suit every home and style.

💙 When the stairs become a struggle, it affects more than just mobility

Maybe your mum is sleeping on the sofa.
Maybe your dad is pausing halfway up, out of breath.
Or maybe you just find yourself worrying more than usual.

These small signs can be easy to overlook, but they often mean it’s time to think about extra support.

A stairlift isn’t about taking independence away. It’s about giving it back and making the whole home accessible again, restoring routines, and giving peace of mind to the whole family.

We’ve put together a simple guide: '5 Signs it might be time to consider a stairlift for your mum or dad.'

🚨 New Changing Places Case Study Alert



As part of its incredible transformation project, Sherwood Observatory wanted to ensure every visitor could enjoy the new planetarium and science discovery centre without barriers, which is why a fully compliant Changing Places Toilet was central to the design.



Working closely with the observatory team and main contractor G F Tomlinson, Multicare provided a complete solution:



✅ Site survey and bespoke room design

✅ Supply and installation of specialist equipment

✅ Official registration and ongoing support



The result? A facility described by visitors as “the best Changing Places room they’ve ever used.”



This project is a brilliant example of how inclusive design makes a real difference for families and communities.

Owning specialist care equipment is only half the story... the real difference comes from how confidently and correctly it’s used.



From hoists and slings to adjustable beds and shower chairs, the right training turns equipment into a tool that empowers staff, protects residents, and improves care. Without it, even the best equipment can become a source of stress or risk.



At Multicare Medical, our in-house trainer Kevin Sanders brings over 27 years of experience to every session, helping care teams work safely, confidently, and efficiently. The benefits go far beyond compliance - boosting morale, reducing injuries, and enhancing dignity for those in care.



Read our latest blog, 'The hidden benefits of equipment training for care staff', to see how the right training can transform your care environment.

Creating a fully compliant Changing Places toilet is about designing a space that’s safe, dignified, and practical for everyone who needs it.

We work closely with architects, contractors, and business owners to make sure every Changing Places project meets the highest standards, from the initial design stage right through to long-term maintenance.

Our 360° ethos means we handle the entire process in-house:

DESIGN – Creating layouts that are functional, compliant, and user-friendly

INSTALL – Fitting high-quality equipment with precision

TRAIN – Giving staff the confidence to understand the equipment and facility

MAINTAIN – Providing ongoing servicing to keep everything safe and operational

Whether it’s for a shopping centre, transport hub, visitor attraction, or public building, we make it simple to deliver a Changing Places facility that’s built to last, and truly makes a difference.

Do you have to pay VAT on a stairlift?

A very common question for people considering investing in a stairlift is, 'Do you have to pay VAT on a stairlift?'

The good news is, in many cases, the answer is no. If you or a loved one has a disability or long-term health condition, you may be eligible for VAT relief, which means 20% off the full price of a stairlift.

In our latest guide, we explain:

👉 Who qualifies for VAT exemption
👉What conditions are covered
👉What to watch out for when ordering
👉How to avoid unexpected charges
👉And how we make the process stress-free

Understanding VAT relief could save hundreds of pounds and help make home adaptations more affordable, without any complicated paperwork!
