At Fen Mobility Centre, we know that independence isn’t only about the big things like scooters, riser recliners, or stairlifts. It’s also about the little things — the small daily tasks that add up to comfort, confidence, and freedom. That’s where everyday living aids come in.
These simple yet clever products can make life so much easier — helping you open jars, pick things up safely, get dressed independently, or enjoy a cup of tea without spills. But as with all mobility and care products, there’s no “one-size-fits-all.” That’s why it’s so important to try them in person and get expert advice before buying.
Small Aids with a Big Impact
When you visit our showroom, you’ll find a huge range of daily living aids designed to make everyday activities easier and safer:
Grabbers and reachers – Ideal for picking up items from the floor, reaching high shelves, or even helping with dressing. Trying different lengths and grip styles helps you find one that feels right in your hand.
Jar and bottle openers – From rubber grips to one-touch openers, these handy gadgets save your hands and wrists from strain. You can test how much pressure is needed and find the right fit for your grip strength.
Non-spill and non-tip cups – Perfect for anyone with tremors, arthritis, or limited hand movement. Trying them in person shows how stable and comfortable they feel to hold.
Cutlery and dining aids – Weighted cutlery, easy-grip handles, and plate guards can transform mealtimes. We’ll help you find what feels natural and supportive.
Bathing and toileting aids – Bath seats, raised toilet frames, long-handled sponges, and grab rails all make daily routines safer and more comfortable. Seeing them in person helps you understand how they fit into your home.
Dressing aids – Shoe horns, sock aids, button hooks, and dressing sticks take the strain out of getting ready each day. You can try them in-store to see how they work for you.
Walking sticks and small walking aids – Finding the right height, handle shape, and weight is crucial for balance and comfort. Our team will measure and adjust them for you.
Bedroom and seating supports – From overbed tables to leg rests and cushions, comfort starts with the right support. You can test different options to find what suits you best.
Every product has been carefully selected by our team for quality, ease of use, and value — because we only recommend products we’d be happy for our own family to use.
Why Trying Products in Person Matters
It’s easy to underestimate how much difference the fit and feel of a small aid can make. Something as simple as the angle of a grabber’s handle or the weight of a cup can change how easy it is to use.
That’s why we encourage everyone to come and try before they buy. At our Fen Mobility Centre showroom, you can handle the products, see how they work, and talk through any challenges you face day-to-day. Our friendly, experienced team is here to guide you, answer your questions, and offer honest advice — with no pressure, ever.
We take the time to make sure you leave with something that truly helps, not just something that looks good on a shelf.
Local Support, Real Service
Because we’re a local, family-run business, our relationship with you doesn’t end at the till. We’re here for ongoing support, repairs, and maintenance, and our aftercare is just as important as the initial advice.
Whether you need help adjusting a walking stick, replacing a grabber, or finding the next useful gadget, our door is always open. We know our customers by name, and we’re proud to help people stay independent, confident, and comfortable at home.
The Fen Mobility Centre Difference
You won’t find our small aids sold online — and that’s by design. Buying from a website can’t replace real conversation, real testing, or real care. At Fen Mobility Centre, we do things differently:
Everything we offer can be tried and demonstrated in person
Our advice is always honest, never pushy
We focus on finding what’s best for you — not just making a sale
Our service continues long after your purchase
It’s all part of our family values and our promise to provide local, personal care that makes a genuine difference to everyday life.
So if you or a loved one could use a helping hand around the house, come and see us at Fen Mobility Centre. You’ll be amazed how much difference the little things can make.
