23.01.2022 Looking at purchasing a rollator for yourself or a loved one? Here are three simple things to keep in mind when making your decision. Where will you/they be using the rollator? Is it just for in the house, or outdoor trips as well? Your height and build. It's important to find the rollator that makes the user as comfortable as possible, easiest way to know is to try a few different options.... How compact will the rollator need to be when folded? If you think you will need to be taking the rollator in the car frequently, or being stored away when not in use, some rollator can fold up far smaller than others. #LeefGroup #leef #mobility #independence #rollator #GettingOutAndAbout #WalkingAids

21.01.2022 Sometimes it can be hard to motivate ourselves to eat properly, even more so if the process of eating or drinking is made more difficult by Tremors, dysphagia, or limited grip strength. That is why Eating and Drinking Aids can be so important to everyday independence. The Gyenno Tremor Spoon and Fork increases independence for people living with a tremor, by giving them the confidence to eat without assistance. The spoon/fork automatically distinguishes between intentional ha...nd movements and unconscious tremors, offsetting 85% of the unwanted movement. Suitable for people with a hand tremor range of up to 7cm, the built-in battery design is robust and 2.5 hour charging will give around 180 mins of use. The Gyenno Spoon is also small and convenient enough to carry whilst traveling to ensure you can eat with dignity wherever you please.
