Welcome!

Welcome to Mangar International's new blog. This blog is for all those who are involved in the care of elderly or disabled people, or who are interested in what's available to help themselves, or a friend or relative.

For people who have limited mobility, or who are finding themselves getting less and less mobile due to old age, daily life can become very difficult. Simple tasks such as getting out of bed or taking a bath can become increasingly challenging and dangerous.

Luckily, there are plenty of products and equipment available to help you, many of which are simple, affordable, and stylish.

What's more, with rapidly aging populations throughout the world, governments and health leaders are making steps to encourage innovation and design of products to help disabled and elderly people as they see them as the best solution to help people remain safe and independent in their own home.

This is definitely good news, and in a few years time you should expect to see the variety and quality of products available increase significantly. Even over the past 12 months changes can be seen in the way independent living products are sold; for example have you spotted the new bathroom safety products now available from your local B&Q?

Keep checking back to this Blog to find out what's new in the world of disabled and elderly care, we will aim to bring you regular news and information on great products, government initiatives, policy changes, and anything else we think you should know about!
