Gas fire control extension
The client was unable to bend over and reach the control to turn on and off the gas fire. The occupational therapist was concerned the client would either get too cold or attempt to reach the fire.
A plastic knob was made to fit the fire control. This was mounted onto a rod to which a comfortable handle was attached.
The client is now able to turn the fire on without pain or discomfort and in safety
