Helping you to stay independent

NO ONE likes relying on others but, as, you get older, the simplest of tasks can get harder: walking to the shops becomes a chore and even pouring from the kettle is difficult.

But a pharmacy such as LloydsPharmacy can help you live independently for longer with its innovative range of Betterlife products.

With scooters that can help you get about town, walking frames and wheelchairs, you need never feel like a prisoner in your own home again.

‘Riser recliner’ armchairs and adjustable beds can help you get up after sitting or lying down, and, if the bathroom’s a problem, there are bath lifts, shower seats and rails. Small things are also important – so try the big-buttoned phones and remote controls, the cutlery with extra-long or wide handles and the kettle that helps you pour. There’s even a GPS tracker you can wear, so your loved ones always know where you are.
