Your Home Health and Well Being

Rousseau, Rae

As we grow older we often need a little something-or-other to help us do things around the house and garden. Perhaps we have a problem reaching down to put on our shoes, or a bottom drawer seems lower than it used to be, or we'd prefer to carry things around leaving both hands free. On the other hand, we don't want to live surrounded by numerous hospital-type chrome plated gadgets. The projects in Eighty-Eight Easy to Make Aids for Older People solve both these problems. They won't draw attention to the fact that we are getting older or that we have special needs. Yet they can be made easily and inexpensively with only basic skills, tools, and materials. Each page gives step-by-step instructions for a host of solutions to the problems of daily living. Best of all, each aid can be made to suit individual needs, and finished to blend into the home.
