My Mum has just moved into a bungalow and needs a new kitchen.
She has mobility problems and several health issues which impact on her daily life e.g.. unable to stretch her arms out fully, poor grip, poor eyesight plus, she is only 4 feet 8 inches tall.
She needs to sit to wash up, meal prep and cook though she can stand for brief periods.
Any advice on who she would contact to design a kitchen specific to her needs?
All the kitchens we've seen up to now, aren't suitable for her as she can't reach anything in the wall cupboards and the base cupboards are to deep for her to see/reach into.
She's in Leeds area.
All advice gratefully received.

You could ask if she could be referred to an Occupational Therapist who could visit her to see what she will need. The OT may then be able to point her in the right direction from there.
