Home care aids to help with dressing and grooming
Home care aids can help make getting dressed easier and faster.
Doing up small buttons, unhooking bra straps and lacing up shoes can be difficult for people with arthritis or after stroke.
Dressing aids increase independence and make dressing less frustrating. Applying makeup, shaving and brushing teeth can be made easier with special magnifying mirrors and brushes with easy grip.
You can purchase home care aids and equipment over the internet or from pharmacies, medical supply stores, rehabilitation or mobility shops.
