WALKING AIDS

Good morning folks 
My elderly mother has trouble walking around the house. 
Can you kindly recommend any walking aids which I could buy for her and if I could get some financial help?
Thanks

    Perhaps Social Services / Physiotherapy can help?  My DM has a Zimmer which was given to her following an assessment.  She also has a perching stool for use in the kitchen and a toilet frame - all supplied FOC from NHS etc.  You could try phoning her GP who should be able to signpost you to help and support.
