Drinks aid
This client was unable to get himself a drink at night after his carers left at 6.30pm.
The client could raise himself in his adjustable bed into a sitting position. Using a cyclists’ drinking bag, a cold drink could be provided by wiring the drinking tube into a position he could reach. A hot drink was provided by using another tube and a coffee percolator which could be prepared by his helpers and switched on and off with a rocker switch.
The client can now have up to four hot drinks a night plus cold drinks as required.
