Today we take a look at some handy dressing aids that bring a bit of ease, comfort and good old-fashioned common sense back to getting ready in the morning.
At CareCo we are proud to supply a variety of arthritic kitchen aids to make life that little bit easier for those living with conditions like arthritis.
If you suffer from limited mobility, arthritis, or limited dexterity, some of the more simple tasks that a lot of us take for granted can actually become quite difficult and intimidating. With that in mind, we thought we would draw your attention to some of the fantastic daily living aids that w...
Let’s look at some equipment. Sock Aids are designed to help keep the socks open whilst on the floor so you can simply slide your foot in without the need to lift your leg. I say ‘simply’, but it’s fair to say there is generally an amount of practice needed with these items. It will either work beautifully or it won’t work for you at all – it varies from person to person!
The independence you gain from being safely mobile, with or without a walking aid, brings a significant level of freedom; the freedom to choose where you want to meet friends, how far you want to travel or when to pop to the shops. It can frequently also be a deciding factor in whether you need the help of a carer at home.
Shelter, food, water and rest – the basics we need as humans to survive. However, nutrition, taste and variety add the next level to meal preparations, allowing us to personalise food to our needs and our preferences.
The two most important joints to keep mobile and strong are the knees and ankles, as these support your whole body and are vital for walking mobility. As soon as these weaken, we tend to reduce activity levels dramatically, and this creates a downward spiral of reduced mobility.
Daily living aids make the world of difference to an individual’s day to day life, and can be the crucial factor when it comes to living independently, without being reliant on the assistance of others.
Spring is a great time to get outside and get your hands stuck into nature; the increased daylight and – hopefully – sunshine and warmth are great mood boosters, and will help you shake off winter's chill.

We stock five different magnifiers that each help with different...
We often talk about the big-ticket mobility accessories we provide at CareCo. However, smaller adjustments can be made to make your home more accessible.
As we get older and battle more medical conditions, we find that we have more and more pills to take throughout the week. Remembering to take one pill can be hard enough, but if you have multiple pills that need to be taken at different times on different days, it can be a real challenge to remember what you've already had and what you need to take. For those that are suffering memory problems,...
