Slippers

Choice of slippers is a really important decision. Dementia care home patients spend a lot of their time wearing them.

In my Mum’s case she always suffered with poor circulation which has in recent years really affected her feet. She is very mobile and always walking around the care home resulting in sore corns on her feet which require regular chiropodist treatment. So what to consider with regards slippers:

comfort
warmth
sturdy
supportive
ease putting on and taking off

Mum is currently wearing Dr Keller slippers. I’m certain if she was coherent She would say they are a winner. They specialise in slippers for problematic feet. They seem high quality and are lined and cushioned for warmth and comfort. They have an easy to adjust opening which is important for dementia patients who struggle with dressing. The slippers fully open all the way to the toe which assists easy taking on and off, not just for the dementia patient but also the carer who is assisting. Whilst designed for wearing indoors they have a sturdy hard sole which enables them to also be worn outdoors for example sitting or walking around the garden.

P.s. I haven’t been paid to write this review and I’m Sure there are other brands out there which are just as good.
