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.
Now that most Covid restrictions have been lifted many people are starting to venture out for the first time in over two years. Many are still very worried about being exposed to Covid, but the general advice is that if you are vaccinated and continue to take measures to protect yourself with a mask, then you can start to live a more normal life again. Spring is in the air, and it won't be long...
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. But what if you're a gardening novice? Well, we here at CareCo have compiled a short blog on how to prepare yourself and your garden, whether you're green-fingered or otherwise.
It’s no secret that the word ‘influencer’ has become quite a loaded one over the last few years. We’re at a point in time where in most people, that word conjures up quite a set image: conventionally beautiful people living aspirational lives, with hundreds of thousands of people following said lives online.
The biggest challenge during this outbreak will be for those who currently require regular home visitors from care workers and family members to help with every day tasks from dressing and washing, to cooking, cleaning and dealing with letters and helping with medicine and doctors appointments.
If you tend to travel far and take your mobility scooter on the road then you need not only a comfortable class 3 mobility scooter, but also one that will go the distance. Here are our best performing mobility scooters.
Ever since I acquired my chronic illness, accessible and inclusive employment has been a topic close to my heart.
Like many people with long-term illnesses, I’m one of the ‘in-betweeners’. While I was studying, I knew that I would be well enough to pursue a career in some capacity after I graduated. However, I definitely wouldn’t be well enough to do full-time hours, commute to a workplace, ...
If you want to step out in style this Spring, take a look at the Epsom Luxury Walking Cane. It comes in three stylish designs, each with a unique pattern and colour: there's a luxurious purple dash, blue ice, or a colourful and fun rainbow mosaic.
Every May, we honour ME Awareness Month. Every May, people living with ME/CFS come together to share their lived experiences and use their limited energy to advocate for change. Every May, we try our best to show those outside of the community why they should care about ME/CFS awareness too.
Over the last year, I’ve barely visited any public places. Any trips out of the house have been short enough for me to stand and walk without requiring wheels, and as a result, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used George (my transit wheelchair) and Janice (my power-chair) in the last twelve months.
I have an energy-limiting chronic illness, and because of necessary pacing and activity management to keep on top of my symptoms, I’m primarily based at home. I work from home, socialise from home, and do my best to live a full and happy life from home…
My entire life had to be adapted to fit around my chronic migraines – not ideal for somebody who had just started studying for their postgraduate degree.
If you’re feeling inspired to make a change but you too want to avoid sacrificing anything else as we head into 2021, allow me to share a few ideas for more compassionate resolutions you could consider instead…
This week we opened our 19th mobility showroom, in Preston, Lancashire. It's filled it to the rafters with only the best mobility aids from the biggest brands around.
CareCo Preston can be found on the east side of town on the Blackpool Road (A5085), at the junction with Ribbleton Road and Londridge Road (B6243). It joins several other mobility stores in town, such as Millercare Mobility Spe...
Brentwood was our first showroom, and at its time of opening it provided ample space for us to showcase all our best mobility products. But as the years have gone by and we’ve opened 20 new stores all over the UK, with each one becoming larger and better, we decided that it was time for Essex and East London to get a mobility showroom that it deserves. So for this reason, we have decided to clo...
The last three months have been a rather bizarre time for people in the UK. Day-to-day life radically changed almost overnight, and it isn’t surprising that the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions in recent weeks has evoked mixed opinions. Many people, most notably the non-disabled population, are hyped for some semblance of ‘normality’ to return. There’s been widespread celebration of shop...
