my father cant pick up letters he tried yesterday and fell and couldnt get back up and had to wait for 2 hours before someone could help. :(

Ive been told that Betterlife/Lloyds Pharmacy do a pick up grabber - anyone recommend a good one please?

We've been through a few as mum hides them, and dad reports they are all much of a muchness.

Depending on the way your dads door opens, one of those letter cages would be good as then theres no difficulty picking up at all

we looked at letter cages but my sister could only get a HUGE one that stuck out rather alot

There are some quite small ones on Amazon if you were still interested - amazing what you can get on there, it often saves me when I need random stuff for my parents
