As of 2026, approximately 982,000 people are living with dementia in the UK. This number is expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040.
Dementia has a significant impact on the daily lives of those affected, as well as loved ones caring for and supporting them. However, many tools and advancements can make daily life a little easier.
These essential living aids can bring back independence for people with dementia, whilst taking pressure off family members and friends. In this blog, we'll share our top six dementia-friendly living aids that could help you.
1) Pill Organisers
Remembering to take medication is a common struggle for people living with dementia. However, these routines can be made easier with pill organisers.
They come in different variations: once a day, twice a day, and medichest. These are labelled to make medicating simple and stress-free. Most of these come in bright colours, which makes them easier to spot and remember.
2) Talking Clocks
Does your loved one struggle to remember or read the time? A talking clock could help. Some talking clocks will even remind your loved ones what day of the week it is to help them with daily routines.
These clocks are easy to use; just push a button, and it'll read out the hourly time. You can even get pocket-sized talking clocks, so your loved one can stay on top of time when out and about.
3) Grab Rails
Steel grab rails are a great addition to your loved one's home, as they reduce the risk of slips and falls. These are commonly fitted in bathrooms and other areas around the home.
Available in three lengths and fitted securely to ensure top safety for your loved one.
4) Uccello Kettle
The Uccelllo Tipper Kettle is the perfect kitchen assistant for anyone who may struggle to lift and pour a regular kettle. The unique tilt-to-pour technology makes pouring drinks a breeze.
It's great for loved ones who forget to drink throughout the day or have a hard time making drinks for themselves.
5) Riser Recliners
Being comfortable at home is essential, but regular chairs can become difficult for older loved ones with dementia. A riser recliner chair ensures that they get in and out of their chair without any hassle and reduces the risks of falls.
6) Stairlifts
Lastly, you could get a stairlift installed for your loved one. They make getting up and downstairs simple, keeping your loved ones independent at home.
Little changes at home can make all the difference for loved ones living with dementia. Boosting the quality of life for them and their family members, too.
