Arthritis aids
Hi everyone, My Dad is so bad with it in hands that he really struggles picking up cutlery (we took him out for a meal and I so wanted to help him but it would hurt his pride. I have been looking at so many things to help with this and thought you may know where to get cutlery (all in one so handles dont get water in them). This in itself would be massive help but all amazon reviews are not that great.
