Homecare & Daily Living

Daily living aids are the small, practical products that keep a person doing the ordinary things themselves: dressing, eating, reaching, opening and washing. This range covers kitchen and dining aids, dressing aids, reachers, key turners, writing aids and other tools that reduce effort and protect independence at home.

For OTs and support coordinators, these products often provide the fastest wins after an assessment. Consider grip strength, range of movement, vision and cognition when choosing, and look for items that are easy to clean and simple to use. Many are low cost consumables that fit within existing NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home or DVA budgets.

Thrive Lifecare stocks daily living aids at its Launceston and Cambridge showrooms and delivers Tasmania-wide. Book a trial or drop in to try items in hand; they are far easier to choose when you can hold them.
