The Support Product Bank (BPS) of the Alba Association is a lending and advisory service aimed at improving the daily lives of people with functional limitations. This service is designed for older adults, people with disabilities or special needs, and their caregivers, offering technical solutions that facilitate autonomy and accessibility.
Additionally, for more than 5 years, we have managed the BPS of the Regional Councils of l'Urgell and la Segarra, thereby expanding our impact and reaching more people who need technical support to improve their quality of life.
What do we offer?
The BPS has over 80 specialized products that can be rented for short or long periods, depending on each person’s needs. The materials are classified into different categories according to their use:
Transfers → Electric hoists, harnesses, rotating discs…
Accessible prices → The monthly rental cost ranges from €5 to €20, depending on the product, and some materials require a deposit.
Free advice → A specialized technician will help you choose the best option based on your needs. In specific cases, we also have the support of a physiotherapist or collaboration with accessibility experts from La Boqueria within the MITECO project.
Training and follow-up → When material is lent, specific training is provided to ensure its proper use, and follow-up is carried out to monitor its functioning.
