Curved Stairlifts in Macclesfield & Cheshire from £3695

It is the state or quality of being independent; freedom from dependence; exemption from reliance on, or control by, others; self-subsistence or maintenance; direction of one’s own affairs without interference.

For many who are aging or suffering with health, it’s about feeling competent. This affects levels of self-esteem or self-worth which in turn affects our confidence levels. Our confidence in daily life has a bearing on our likelihood of trying out new things, exploring in activities, stepping out of our comfort zone, which often leads to personal growth. Trying out new things or living makes us feel good, we are having fun, enjoying our freedom and life. No wonder people fear losing it!

An article in the ‘The Telegraph’ headlined:

More people ‘fear losing independence in old age than death’, survey says

And went on to say that “more people are afraid of losing their independence in old age and being forced to move into a nursing home than they are of dying, a survey has found.”

It’s a powerful statement which makes clear how people still desire to remain independent as opposed to being pressured or even forced to move into a care home – was the findings of one study.

Due to the rising costs of elderly care, two out of three are concerned about the pressure it places on friends and family to provide care in old age. The survey revealed that three in four people were concerned about getting ill in old age as opposed to less than one in three who were concerned about dying. Quoting The Telegraph it said “Nearly 50% of people expressed a fear of moving into a care facility according to the Disabled Living Foundation Charity”.

Even the government has issued forth warnings and increasing concern over the health care system saying that it was facing a “time bomb” due to the growing section of Britain’s ageing population.

Without getting everyone depressed – this article in the The Telegraph was simply acknowledging some sobering facts. The serious question is: What can we do to fight back? How can we beat the time bomb and also help our loved ones retain their independence, remain in their homes if that’s their wish – which essentially impacts their life and happiness?

Ministers have previously said Britain’s ageing population poses as big a threat to the country as climate change, as the government grapples with how to help the 1.7 million more people expected to need social care over the next two decades. Small independent companies like Top Flight Stairlifts are already on the case.

How can the elderly or sick can gain independence?

Best Quotes on Old Age and Health

“People want to remain in control over their own lives, to be able to do things for themselves and carry out everyday living tasks independently, like dressing, bathing and cooking,” she said.

“Getting older should not be a barrier to having choice and control over the quality of your life, or be a reason to move out of your own home.”

“Many older people just need help, ideas and advice about the simple equipment that exists to help them with daily tasks and to lead full, active and safe lives.”

Can’t Sleep – What can I do to get more sleep?

Posted on by

Did you know? The latest health news from Top Flight Stairlifts explains how more sleep improves your health and happiness.

“Get to Bed early” – seems simple, but we know it’s not always that easy and there is more to it. Read on to find out why…

1. Cut out caffeine

Caffeine can keep you awake. By cutting out your caffeine in take at least four to six hours before bedtime can massively help you fall asleep more easily. Caffeine increaseses the heart rate and thus keeps you more awake because it’s a stimulates the brain and behaviour.

Caffeine before bedtime delays sleep onset, reduces overall sleep time and reduces the depth of sleep. After taking in caffeine sleep is more easily aroused and quality of sleep is reduced.

2. Avoid alcohol as a sleep aid

Alcohol may initially help you fall asleep, but it also causes disturbances in sleep resulting in less restful sleep. An alcoholic drink before bedtime may make it more likely that you will wake up during the night.

3. Relax before bedtime

Stress not only makes you miserable, it wreaks havoc on your sleep. Develop some

Relax and Unwind - Recliner Luxury Chairs in Norfolk from £499

kind of pre-sleep ritual to break the connection between all the day’s stress and bedtime. E.g Write a list of tomorrows to do’s, it will close the day so to speak. These rituals can be as short as 10 minutes or as long as an hour. Perhaps try reading something light, meditating on what you’ve read, aromatherapy, light stretching or taking a hot bath can also help you get better sleep. Also, don’t look at the clock! So set the alarm long before bed time.

4. Get some Exercise, do it at the right time for you

Regular exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep. The timing and intensity of exercise seems to play a key role in its effects on sleep. If you are the type of person who gets ener-gised or becomes more alert after exercise, it may be best not to exercise in the evening. Regular exercise in the morning even can help relieve insomnia, according to a study. Ask Top Flight Mobility about Happy Legs (a exercise strategy) – if you are sat down for prolonged periods of time during the day.

5. Keep your bedroom quiet, dark and comfortable

Use earplugs, window blinds or curtains and an electric blanket – everything possible to

Adjustable beds Norfolk

create an ideal sleep environment. Ideal room temperatures for sleeping are between 15C and 22C (59F and 71F). Temperatures above 24C (75F) or below about 12C (53F) can disrupt sleep.

6. Eat well, sleep well

Avoid going to bed hungry, but do not eat heavy meals before bedtime. An over-full stomach can keep you up. Certain foods can help, though. Milk contains tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that may help promote sleep include tuna, halibut, arti-chokes advocados, almonds, eggs, peaches, walnuts, apricots, oats, asparagas, buckwheat and bannanas.

 

Improve your health and happiness in the home

Many today want the luxury of remaining in their home despite a change in their circumstances. Moving out into a care home, isn’t desirable and when you can make mobility adjustments to your home why bother? Save money in the long run, increase your independence and stay in your own home.

In certain cases it is becoming difficult to recieve the right care and many are looking to care for the family in the home. We work with many organisations that provide home care so you can enjoy being in the home you love. How can Top Flight Stairlifts help improve health and happiness and help make mobility adjustments to your home?

1. Provide a Stairlift – Safe, reduces the need for assistance and increases independence

2. Adapt the home - Put in extra mobility that can make life easier, e.g. Bedroom Aids, Bathroom Aids, Kitchen Aids all designed to assist the elderly and those with mobility concerns in the home.

3. Adapt the Seating, install Medical Chairs, Rise and Recline chairs

4. Powered Chairs, Mobility Chairs to assist with wheel chair users

5. Adjustable Beds – Making it easier to care for someone who spends time in the bed, adjustable beds can rise so as to eat in bed, relax and enjoy a range of comfortable positions by using a remote control rather than a carer.

Mobility chairs are designed to increase comfort and aid those who struggle getting in and out of chair by themselves. The Rise Recline Chairs are great especially for those who sit for long periods of time and fin it difficult to relax and switch. Luxury Recliners are available new from £499.

Manchester Stairlifts – “Eating Broccoli helps with arthritis”

Posted on by

Manchester Health News – Eating Broccoli helps with arthritis

There is great health advice below for the arthritic sufferers and plenty of helpful guidence to support those with mobility issues or joint problems. This information is supplied from a recommended and reputable mobility & stairlift supplier in Manchester – Top Flight Stairlifts – a main supplier of Stairlifts in Manchester.

“Scientists from the University of East Anglia have launched a ground breaking new project to investigate the benefits of broccoli in the fight against arthritis” – Arthritis Today Magazine.

Help for Arthritic suffers in
Manchester

The greater Manchester area has a growing population of those who suffer not just from arthritis but general wear and tear on their joints and limbs.

With this growing concern of wearing out joints or over working, Top Flight Stairlifts & Mobility are helping individuals to maintain good movement and flexibility in their joints
but also to assist in areas where individuals are more likely over work or stretch themselves in their daily activites – which can cause unnecessary injury or discomfort.

 

What is their Solution in Manchester?

“Manchester Mobility & Stairlift supplier aim to help this segment of Manchester’s population”

Daniel at Top Flight Stairlifts in Manchester says:

“We have elderly members in our family and we are fully aware of the importance of independence and dignity for those who have lost some of their mobility, whether it’s through sickness or old age. We are trying to allow individuals to maintain their personal freedom, in and out of the home.”

“We want people to enjoy a better quality of life, to exercise safely, or to move safely and more often. The fact is – when we exert ourselves too heavily, that’s when we are more likely to stumble or injure or aggravate a problem. The key to keeping good health is remaining balanced. That means building up strength and health gradually.”

Some might argue, if I use a Stairlift / Chair Lift or a mobility scooter, that it means I will exercise less and therefore deteriorate faster. Is that the case? No. But what do you think could happen, if climbing stairs or taking on general activities is a challenge for someone or it is becoming increasingly more difficult them – in due time an accident/fall is waiting to happen – then what? An uncomfortable ache, a pulled muscle, or worse a new hip, or broken ankle possibly.

What Top Flight Mobility in Manchester are trying to encourage is, maintain your personal freedom but in a safer way!

Option 1 – Using a Stairlift according to your ability.

Maybe using a Stairlift or Chair Lift but only when necessary. This could be first thing in

New & Used Stairlifts with Style & Comfort

the morning and last thing at night for instance. This way, we keep up some exercise in the home but, we do not over-do it, so that we increase the chance of an accident, fall or injury.

Option 2 – The use of a walking aid or Mobility Scooter.

In such cases where someone can only walk to the shop 500 yards away and back. They could reason well, that’s my exercise each day and if I get a scooter or a wheelchair I may have to forsake that part of my exercise.

Again, a more balanced view of the situation is – we know that exercise is important to our customers, equally is your own freedom and independence. So what we encouraged again here, is that using a Mobility Scooter that suits your needs and circumstances means, you can still walk and gain that exercise – but, doing so when you are feeling comfortable and strong enough to do so.

What it also means, is that you can increase independence as you can now travel a much

Staying in touch with friends

greater distance and become involved in other activities that were formerly beyond our capability – e.g. going for a long walk with the family. You can use the scooter but get off
intermittently to get that ice cream or go to the toilets or stop at that café for lunch.

In this manner you are getting more physical activity – but are gaining exercise in a safe way and over a prolonged period of time. This will increase strength, stamina and flexibility.
More importantly improve your well-being through an increase in your personal freedom
& independence.

When you’re having an off day – it doesn’t have to mean your plans are now off!

On the days you are not feeling the best, you are still able to function as part of your daily routine and no longer have to cancel your plans because you feel “you’re not up to it”.

Various sizes, ranges and styles - in store Demo available

Instead you can rely on your support aids, whether it’s a walking aid, a Mobility Scooter or even the Stairlift. The result – you can still get out of the house and do what you wanted to do and feel much better about yourself.

Of course there are severe cases of disability or lack of mobility. In such instances mobility aids will be required all the time for some individuals. Whatever your circumstances are, Top Flight Stairlifts & Mobility based in Manchester who serve the UK, are able to provide all the support and solutions available in the market. Why not call them for more free information on 0800 093 6117.

 

So who are Top Flight
Stairlifts & Mobility?

They are a company that provides mobility care and support in Manchester and throughout the whole of the UK.

We supply and install Stairlifts in Manchester otherwise known as Chair lifts in Manchester. Whatever your needs are, whether it’s a Curved stairlift, straight stairlift or even a Heavy Duty stairlift in Manchester. One of best Heavy Duty Stairlifts on the market is the Platinum Heavy Duty Curved stairlift in Manchester carrying a weight comfortably up to 25 stone. There are of course other options available.
