What we are about
This site does not focus on any kind of disability, ageism or other perceived physical restriction. Instead, it looks at ways of attaining the highest possible quality of life by taking advantage of the benefits offered by different aids, ergonomics and technological innovations.
As such, the products that we include will cover potential purchases for the healthy and physically active as well as specialist aids for those requiring more help to fulfil a particular task, e.g. getting in and out of a bath tub.
All of the products and services that we include relate to extending and enhancing "life quality". Many of these products have specific applications for, those who are older and not quite as able as they once were, people suffering from obesity, or those with a disability. However, a number of these products are also suitable for younger healthy people who wish to make good lifestyle choices.
Aids like mobility scooters, wheelchairs, disabled entry baths (and showers), chair lifts, bathing lifts, tilt and lift chairs, orthopedic shoes, access ramps, ergonomic utensils and hearing accessories are just some of the products that are included. However, sections on outdoor pursuits, exercise machines, hobbies and activities etc will take in many other products that can benefit and enhance life for all.
Many of the "none specific" health items covered will have a wellbeing related component, e.g. a memory foam bed or an ergonomic office chair.
Ultimately, this site aims to look at what will be of interest and support to all lifestyles and any level of activity, whatever the individual's age and state of health.
