Soft Grip Crutches by S. Sharpe
Fast Delivery These were bought to replace a pair of crutches that had seen better days Extremely comfy on the hands - Good price - Some companies sell single crutches which work out expensive when you need the pair Would recommend this company and would use again for any other aids I may need in the future.

Hurrah! by C. Berry
When my husband fell and hurt his back, we found out that our home was not suitable for someone who has difficulty bending, sitting, standing or moveing especially in the bathroom. I have never been so excited to receive a parcel as I was for the Ashby raised toilet seat has made life so much easier for him. It came very quickly, is well made and very eay to fit.

The railed bath step stool is well-made, well-designed, stable, and comfortable to use. It is a bit fiddly to put together, using the supplied spanner, hence the four star review.

A Satisfactory Product, Realistically Priced with Good Service. by R. Hinsley
I am more intersted in utility and value for money than in luxury or aesthetics and opted for this item, made in Taiwan, on that basis. It was delivered in a couple of days, accompanied by clear text and diagram instructions and was installed in under 45 minutes with only one snag. The snag being that he design of my toilet bowl and lids necessitated dispensing with the top lid to allow the toilet seat to be lifted. However, the hinges for the top lid had to be retained in place and so sawn off the top lid. The flush handle of my toilet is on the face of the tank and the uprights of the frame when installed are very close to the handle. This is but a minor inconvenience. Once installed the frame is not 100% firm and rigid but secure enough to give no cause for concern. The frame has ample adjustments available. For me, an entirely satisfactory purchase!

Thanks to Debbie for prompt and helpful customer service when Mum thought the wrong product had been delivered. When I was able to check it, it was the correct item. It was put to immediate use and is much more comfortable for Mum to sit on than her previous cushion.

Strong walking stick by D. Downing
I ordered this walking stick for my husband and needed an aid that was strong to take his 15 stone weight safely and the maximum weight of this product is 20 stones. Easily adjustable, comfortable handle, wrist strap included and a good rubber ferrule on the bottom. I was so impressed with the walking stick that I immediately ordered another one for myself.... Maybe jazz it up a little. The price is really good, which I must admit had me worried it would not last very long and the quality would not be there. I need not have worried, its a real bargain. I gave this product a 5star rating and highly recommend.

Good purchase by J. Lawson
I'm pleased with this stool, which I bought in preparation for a hip operation. It seems sturdy, has an easily adjustable height, and is just what I wanted (although I haven't used it yet) and was a good price. The only small problem was that there should have been four 32 mm screws and one longer one (37 mm) but all five appear to be the same length. Even so, the stool seems stable enough now that I've put it together.

Great product excellent value for money by j. gilbert
Comfortable lightweight but supportive crutches … spread hand grip really helps with arthritis pain in hands and wrists … stylish looking and the half cuff arm top allows you to keep the crutch on your arm while the use the hand for something else but comes free if you fall .. this is the 2nd pair of these crutches I’ve owned first pair for approximately 5 years and only had to replace them as one of my original ones got lost ..

Good quality wheels and very easy to fit! These wheels certainly improve my wife's ability to move around the house without my help. They are particularly effective on fitted carpets, as before they were fitted, there was always the chance of the feet of the frame getting 'caught' in the pile!

Better option for bathing. by P. Slater
We purchased one of these previously which turned out to be a disaster and we had to send it back.Subsequently bought a bath lift which looked like a suitable alternative but unfortunately you end up sitting out of the bath which basically defeats the object.So with some slight scepticism decided to retry one of these but it arrived promptly and up to pres has done the job which means she can fully immerse in the bath.Very good price as well.

Good spill proof cup by R. Cheriton
Bought for my bedbound elderly family member. Holds enough water for them inbetween carer visits. Hoke for straw so they can drink from and handle for them to use. Lid can be a bit awkward to open. Although spill proof if tipped over it will leak slightly but compared to other cups we've tried this was the better option. Good value for the price and service was great. Received within a couple of days.

Balancing act by L. Fish
Purchased this to help with osteoarthritis of the left knee. Very sturdy and being tall needed a long stick, this fits the bill perfectly, although it’s fully adjustable to suit shorter people. Makes walking so much easier and helps considerably with balance. Ordering was easy and delivery extremely fast. Also VAT relief was available for the item and very simple to claim.
