Alfacare AC-644 daily living kit features
Putting on socks and shoes or picking up clothing from the floor involves bending and stretching. The Alfacare AC-644 combines different aids for these movements, helping you manage everyday tasks more easily according to your individual abilities.
Reacher with gripping jaws: Extends your reach to pick up small objects that are out of reach or have fallen onto the floor. Squeezing the handle controls the closing of the jaws.
Dressing stick with hooks: Helps pull and reposition clothing while dressing and undressing when reaching the fabric directly by hand is difficult.
Shoehorn: Guides your heel into the shoe, reducing the need to bend down to hold the back of the footwear.
Long-handled sponge: Helps you reach your back and feet when washing, reducing the need for excessive stretching.
Sock aid with pull cords: Holds the sock open for your foot. Pulling the handles draws the sock onto your foot without having to reach your toes with your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is the Alfacare AC-644 daily living kit designed for?
It is designed for people with limited mobility and older adults who find bending, reaching their feet or washing their back difficult. Each aid is selected according to the user's specific needs.
Why does the kit include both a sock aid and a shoehorn?
They support two different stages of dressing. The sock aid helps draw a sock onto your foot, while the shoehorn guides your heel into a shoe. One does not replace the other.
Will the kit help if I also have difficulty gripping?
Suitability depends on the aid and the movements you can perform. The reacher requires squeezing the handle, while the sock aid requires pulling the cords. If these movements are difficult, the appropriate aid should be assessed according to your individual abilities.
