perceived in society.
“Home care and the HME industry - is one
area in health care where there is total align-

industry and the patient …. we all are keen

emotionally dignified and happier. In order to
accomplish this we need to be proactive about
safety and embracing HME products,” said

accident”, as well as after any such unfortu-
nate incidents that may lead to major setbacks
to one’s long-term quality of health. Sarafian
feels that seniors could really benefit from
changing their mindset towards mobility, and
bath safety products. For example, many se-
niors resist using a cane or a walker when they
have balance or gait issues because of their
pride or ideas about not giving in to aging.
