Interesting things to know about BetterCareMarket’s Living Aids

Daily Living Aids

Maintaining independence can become more challenging as you age or if you live with a disability, illness or injury. Fortunately, there are many solutions available that can help you maintain or regain your independence for many years.

At Bettercaremarket, we understand the difficulties of this journey, and we can help you stay independent for longer thanks to our useful daily living aids. You can incorporate these assistive devices into your daily routine to improve your quality of life.

As a NDIS-provider, we cater specially for people with a disability or medical condition. Our daily living aids are also perfect for seniors within the Home Care Package, requiring more assistance to remain living in their own home.

 

Our Independent Living Aids Collection

Independent Living aids provide people with a better, more efficient living experience, which leads to greater independence. At Bettercaremarket, we offer a wide variety of products that can help you or your loved ones with everyday life. They can improve the safety in your bathroom, make tasks - such as eating or getting dressed - easier, or increase your mobility at home. These daily living aids help promote independence without compromising on quality.

 

Household: our household category includes helpful bedroom aids, including overbed tables, specialised Parkinson’s sheet and bed rails, and practical items for at home, from transfer turntables and dementia clocks to dehumidifiers that turn daily living into a comfortable experience.

 

Kitchen & Dining: with our specially adapted cutlery and crockery, mealtime remains a pleasure, not a challenge. Check out our food workstation, food preparation board and One Touch openers that will give you a hand in the kitchen, fostering self-reliance.

 

Bathroom Aids: explore our selection of bathroom aids that include small items like long handle toe nail scissors along with larger toileting aids - such as our folding commode or toilet surrounds - bath rails and non-slip bath mats, to ensure personal care remains private and dignified.

 

Reaching Aids: nothing is out of reach with our versatile collection of reachers. Don’t risk strain or potential injury when a simple reaching tool can help you pick up anything without any effort. Our versatile models are strong enough to help with a wide range of everyday tasks around the home and garden. Reachers are popular daily living aids for seniors.

 

Dressing Aids: if you struggle to get dressed due to strains, pains, muscular conditions or limited mobility, check our selection of dressing aids that will make the task of getting dressed less challenging and painful. Items such as sock aids, button hooks, zip pullers, dressing sticks, no-tie shoe laces and shoe horns make a dramatic difference to your daily routine.

 

Grab Bars: navigate your home with our extensive range of grab rails, designed to offer support and stability both indoors and out, ensuring freedom of movement wherever you go. They are simple yet strong devices to improve safety and stability for elderly and people with a disability.

We stock many grab bars including our portable Suction Grab Rails with easy no-tool installation.

 

Travel Essentials: our travel essentials are car and travel devices used to make your car ride easier and more comfortable. Our mobility car aids like seat belt helpers, handy bar, swivelling turntables, back stretch devices and special support cushions will make your drive much smoother.

We believe our travel aids help people with limited mobility in arm and neck, elderly users and disabled people to facilitate easy entry and exit in the car, reach their seat belt, transfer to the car effortlessly and are helpful when the user is away from home. You will also find travel accessories for chronic conditions such as diabetes or stroke.

 

Garden tools: with the right garden tools you can reduce the pain and strain in your hands and wrists while gardening. Our selection of quality ergonomic garden tools from Easi-Grip are suitable for people living with arthritis or a weak grip, and will bring you back the joy of gardening.

Thanks to the vertical angle of the handle, the wrist is kept in a natural position compared to conventional gardening tools and will relieve stress and strain from joints and muscles.

Our long handle gardening tools can help you garden from a wheelchair or sitting down.

Our range of adaptive garden tools make gardening accessible for all.
