Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Healthcare Pro is a trading name of Nottingham Rehab Limited.Unbreakable crockery may be more practical if breakages are common place, although many items are made of lightweight materials such as plastic, and are therefore more easily knocked out of position. For older adults and anyone living with a long-term health condition, the bathroom can be a hazardous place for slips and falls.

Some cups are designed for comfort in mind, others have bendable handles and are modular so that they can be tailored to suit individual requirements. Whether you are at home or on the go, the Deluxe Nosey Cup is the perfect solution for people who need a convenient and comfortable way to drink without any hassle. The spouts come in a range of designs which means you may have to try a number before you find one that works best for you. The smaller ones will catch saliva or liquids lost from the mouth, but will be less useful for protecting clothes from food spillage. Some are also mounted on a swivel that glides in the horizontal plane, and powered versions will raise and lower the whole device.The Nosey Cup with U-shaped cut out on one side helps caregivers provide a safe swallowing cup for users who have difficulty bending their neck or tilting their head. The grooves in the cup ensure a better grip and the unique lid enables flow control and reduces spills if the cup is tipped over. The transparent sides and wide opening allow for the observation of the user, to ensure they are swallowing the drink. LifeVac has recently been hitting the headlines and for those that don’t know, it is the anti-chokin. The material is tough polycarbonate which is shatterproof and resists cracking, prolonging the life of the cup.

If a person has difficulty chewing and swallowing, you are advised to seek an appointment with a speech and language therapist. An over bed table can be a great option if you or the person you care for spends a lot of time either in bed or in a chair - like a wheelchair or favourite armchair. To give you a snapshot of what their jobs involve, Rachel Hutchinson, Clinical Services Director, is on hand to tell you more. A special cutout helps to maintain the proper head and neck positioning when swallowing, making drinking even easier. Ensure that the chair being used is a suitable height, that it offers adequate support and stability, but again, is easy to keep clean, if required.Food may be retained better on the spoon if the bowl of the spoon is deep, although it may be more difficult to take food from the spoon. There are both cutlery and cups/mugs available with a strap which goes across the back of your hand for additional grip, if required. If you have not had an opportunity to discuss your eating and drinking difficulties with a professional, you are strongly advised to seek an assessment of your situation.
