Father’s Day is a time to celebrate and appreciate the wonderful fathers in our lives. For elderly fathers or those with mobility issues, choosing gifts that cater to their needs and enhance their comfort and well-being is important. With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of our top 10 mobility gifts for Father’s Day.

1. Comfortable Footwear

Good footwear is essential for elderly individuals, especially those with mobility issues. Consider gifting a pair of comfortable, supportive shoes like those from the Cosyfeet range.

Look for features like non-slip soles, cushioned insoles, and easy-to-fasten straps to ensure both safety and comfort. Our website has a full range of comfortable Cosyfeet footwear you can see which would be most suitable.

2. Ergonomic Chairs

An ergonomic chair can make a huge difference in comfort and posture. Choose a chair with good lumbar support, adjustable features, and padded seating. If your dad needs assistance with sitting and standing, you could also consider a Rise & Recliner. These chairs are perfect for dads who spend a lot of time reading, watching TV, or sitting at a table.

3. Personalised Walking Aids

Walking aids such as canes, walkers, or rollators can greatly improve mobility and safety. Opt for personalised options, such as a stylish cane with a custom handle or a rollator with a built-in seat and storage.

These aids can be both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Speak to our friendly mobility team in-store to find out how can you find a walking aid most that meets your requirements. Find your nearest mobility shop on our website.

4. Home Safety Devices

Enhance your dad’s home safety with practical devices like grab bars for the bathroom, non-slip mats, or motion-sensor night lights. These gifts can provide peace of mind and reduce the risk of accidents around the house. Click here to discover our Bathing and Showering Aids on our website.

5. Massage Devices & Circulation Boosters

A portable massage device or circulation booster can relieve aching muscles and joints. Why not consider gifting something like the Revitive New Medic Circulation Booster.

Using Electrical Muscle Stimulation, this device can help increase blood flow to the legs, thereby reducing cramps and swelling. These devices can help alleviate discomfort and promote relaxation. Visit our website for more information on the Revitive New Medic

6. Magnifier

For dads who love to read, a Magnifier could be the perfect accompanying gift to books by their favourite author. Choose from a range of magnifications and sizes, depending on whether they want something for reading on the go such as a pocket magnifier or a full page magnifier which is just slightly bigger than a sheet of A4 paper.

We have a range of magnifiers we have to offer, take a look and decide which one would be the most beneficial.

7. Gardening Tools

If your dad enjoys gardening but finds it difficult due to mobility issues, consider adaptive gardening tools. Look for lightweight tools with ergonomic handles, raised garden beds, or even a gardening stool.

These items can help him continue to enjoy his favourite hobby comfortably. Our website has a wide range of accessible gardening tools you can browse.

8. Comfort Items

Enhance your dad’s comfort with cosy items such as a soft blanket, bed socks, or a plush cushion. These items can provide warmth and comfort, especially during the colder months.

9. Talking Big Digit Watch

Help your dad keep track of the time with this stylish digital watch with an oversized LCD. Incorporating a clear voice announcement of time and date, the watch is ideal for those who are visually impaired and can help them keep track of the time throughout the day.

10. Real Big Playing Cards

These easy-to-see extra-large playing cards are perfect for those who love to play cards but who may have a weak grasp or have some visual impairment.

From Pontoon to Poker, whatever card game your dad used to love, help him to rediscover that passion by adapting the game to his changing needs.

With these thoughtful gift ideas, you can make this Father’s Day special for your elderly dad or father with mobility issues. The key is to choose gifts that cater to his needs and bring joy, comfort, and convenience to his daily life. Celebrate the day by showing your love and appreciation in a way that truly matters.
