Help Squeezing Tubes Sometimes we all need a little help squeezing tubes. Toothpaste, hand cream and prescription ointments can all be tricky to squeeze out of their tubes if you have a weak grip. You may have arthritis, be recovering from a stroke, or your grip just isn’t as strong as it used to be.  Affordable investment These simple, affordable aids help you avoid waste and save money. They’re an invaluable investment and the option shown below costs £3.99.

Preparing Food With One Hand. Preparing food with one hand is almost impossible. You don’t realise how fundamentally both hands work together until you are unable to use one of them. Whether you have had a Stroke, broken arm, severely arthritic hands or undergone hand surgery, your disability will be the same. Loss of Independence Most of us take the use of both hands for granted. You automatically use one hand to hold the item of food you want to slice or peel in one hand and the other to perform the task.  If you lose the use of one hand either temporarily or permanently, it affects ev ..read more

I have always associated jelly with children’s parties. However, having spoken to someone who nursed her husband who was dying from Motor Neurone Disease she mentioned she regularly gave him jelly to help keep him hydrated. Surprisingly it stands to reason,  making a sugar-free jelly with 3/4 of a pint of water provides a tasty and easy way to add more fluid to an elderly person’s diet. Not only is it ..read more

Red indicates ” I need some help NOW” or “All is not well”. Criticism Interestingly, I shared this on social media & rece ..read more

Helping a parent downsize or doing so yourself is stressful and challenging. Deciding what to keep and what to dispose of merely adds to the job at hand. Moving into Residential Care If someone is moving from a local authority property to residential care it usually has to be empty within 28 days. This can be a nightmare if you don’t have the space to store furniture and personal items. It results in countless trips to charity shops and ultimately the ti ..read more
