Fund Provision of Robot Vacuum Cleaners to Those Aged 65+ / with Mobility Issues
Introduce a scheme to fund robot vacuum cleaners for people aged 65+ and those with mobility issues. This could be delivered through local councils, social care services, or assistive technology programmes.
This could be a wonderful way to help ageing or disabled people who may be struggling with lifting or cleaning. Vacuum cleaning can be a heavy task and a robot vacuum can maintain a healthy environment, and could help save on social care costs. I believe it would be an excellent investment to help make lives easier for those who require extra assistance.
