Alzheimers

Did you know that there are 700,000 people in the UK who suffer from dementia.

Two thirds of people with dementia live in the community with one third living in a care home. (Alzheimer's Society 2007)

How does Alzheimer's affect the body?

People in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease may experience lapses of memory and become more forgetful.

As the disease progresses, people with Alzheimer's lose independence and require more help maintaining their daily activities. This is as a result of a loss of brain function.

How can Adaptawear help?

Due to Alzheimer's, it can be difficult for individuals to get dressed by themselves, as well as being difficult for carers to dress a person with the condition.

Adaptawear’s range of adaptive and back wrapped clothing is ideal for men and women.

This means that tops and shirts can be drawn through the arms and fastened easily at the back by carers. The fastenings are so discreet that no one will notice and the dignity of the wearer is maintained at all times.

Have a look at our side opening and back opening range in Ladieswear and Menswear.
