Food Insulator - Hot Meals

An area of concern for both carers and those who are being cared for, is the on going problem of how to keep that lovely food that has been prepared warm when it is being slowly consumed by the patient or relative. Because the cared for person cannot feed him or herself and may have difficulty in eating, food on a normal plate tends to go cold quickly, making it unappetising.

OT Stores has an effective solution with the Food Insulator Stay Warm Feeding Dish model number DISH321 although very simple in design, it is extremely effective in keeping food warm. The dish comprises two departments to keep the food separated, constructed with high walls allowing persons able to feed themselves help to push the food onto their spoons or forks without messy spillage. The stay warm feeding dish is entirely dishwasher safe and hygienic, a low price of £5.86 inclusive of VAT.

Walking Aids - Ergonomic Crutches

Help with walking is something that is common in those of advancing years, as well as people who may be suffering from a temporary disability such as a sprained or broken limb. A variety of help is available from walking sticks to frames or wheeled walkers.

For the unfortunate person who has suffered from a fractured leg a trendy alternative to the standard NHS grey crutches are our ergonomically designed full cuff crutches which are much more comfortable to hold and in use. The height is fully adjustable to suit the user with brightly coloured handles designed to fit perfectly each hand. The Walking Aids Ergonomic crutches are stylish, strong and light.

Visual aids - Magnifier

One of the problems that come to us all, with advancing years, is the gradual inability to see smaller print in books and papers as well as other small objects. Reading or sight glasses are of course essential to those who may be starting to suffer from visual impairment, but often these are not enough when trying to read small print, particularly in winter when the natural light is not at its best.

A simple and inexpensive solution to the problem is using our Classic Magnifier XMAG-0001 which gives the user twice magnification, making even the smallest print easy to read and just one of our many visual aids. The “Classic” is a traditional style magnifier with a smooth rim in chrome finish with a smooth spherical handle designed for user comfort. At only £6.94 including VAT, this sight aid is something that will be used time and again, helping to overcome the difficulty of reading that tiny print.

Portable Access Ramps

Easy access to all public buildings is now a requirement for users of wheelchairs, no impediment through steps is allowed. Modern wheelchairs are now a lot easier for both the user and the helper and it makes sense to have access to ones home made as easy as that found at public buildings.

At OT Stores we have thoroughly researched and evaluated all the ramps that are currently available and we decided to settle on the product Guldmann access ramps designed in Denmark, which we consider to be the best around. These ramp kits are simple to assemble and are designed to allow the opening and closing of doors without having to remove the ramp. Lightweight in construction with a non slip surface, these ramps are adjustable to the exact height, with everything supplied in the one kit.

The price of this quality product is dependent upon the height of the doorstep, but start at £31.71 including VAT.
