Change is good…. 

And we like change at Adaptawear. 

Another season, another year - so we thought lets start out afresh. To begin with, we have changed our logo for 2008 and here it is…..

We have also just released our long awaited catalogue for 2008, with a new range of adaptive clothes designed for easier dressing.  You will notice that it is packed with brilliant, unique clothing for wheelchair users, carers, the elderly and the disabled.  As always, we aim to provide adaptive clothing that looks entirely ordinary but has functional adaptations to make the clothes eaasy to put on.

Make sure you request your copy of our brochure today!

As if that weren’t enough, we have also changed our phone number so that it is even easier for you to get hold of one of our team.  It is now 0845 6439492  

To top it all off we have a fantastic new website that should be ready to launch shortly.  It will have all of our new clothes designs for the elderly and disabled as well as lots of new helpful resources! 

We will have the Adaptablog and Latest News sections to keep you informed about what we are up to as well as current issues written by members of the health industry.  Our Adaptaforum is where you can have your say.  If you have a question or clothing issue that you would like us to help you with, then why not post a question on the forum?  If we can’t help you, then may be some of our other visitors can.

When we dress professionally, we tell those we meet that this is a place of business where things get done well, and that we take our business and our jobs seriously. Read the rest of this entry »

Alzheimer’s disease directly affects about 700,000 people in the UK, though it affects many more of us indirectly. While we may not be suffering from the disease personally, many of us are in a position where it has become necessary to care for someone with Alzheimer’s. To understand how best to cope with a parent diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you must first have a clear understanding of what it is and how it affects the people you love.

Just before Easter we decided that our website needed a revamp. As some of you may be aware we have changed our name from Moochi Carewear to Adaptawear. So doing away with the old and bringing in the new we are planning to launch a new website. It should be up and running by the middle of June, so keep a look out.Â

Hi all,

Welcome to the Adaptawear blog. This has to be a first! A blog solely dedicated to clothing for people with physical difficulties. Â

I am hoping that the women among us wont have too much of a difficulty talking about clothes!
