Help needed please

Post by aphrodite »

I am looking for an item like this to help an elderly neighbour with the blood circulation in her legs and feet. Her doctor recommended she must rest with her ankles and feet higher than her heart but no suggestion where the item can be bought. My neighbour cannot get to the floor so it needs to be lightweight to use on a bed or sofa. Can anyone help as to where I can buy something like it or perhaps get one made. Fingers crossed and thank you for any help you can offer 🙂

You could try an upturned, light weight chair, with a pillow over for comfort.

Perhaps phone Kathy Renton Tel: 99 744936
She used to help with the Welfare Section at UKCA and since it closed down has continued to hire out various medical care items to the public.
She may have one or would know where you can obtain it.

She is also opening Verity Care Hub near Aspire School at the beginning of September.

Thank you galexinda. I spoke to Kathy, she wasn't able to help but suggested i contact a foam provider so I'm looking into that.

Hi Chatsworth. Your contact did call me and sent some photos, but unfortunately the shape of her ‘wedge' was not suitable. Thank you for your help 🙂. I enclose a couple of better photos of what I’m hoping to find for my neighbour to help her. Does anyone know a company in Pafos who supplies and cuts foam please?

Tipota in Peyia would be a good bet.

Ah, good idea, I forgot about them! They were going 23 years ago when I first lived in Peyia. Thanks for reminder, I will give them a call tomorrow 👍
