Do you have an ailment like arthritis that restricts your ability to do everyday things? The Arthritits Foundation has several “Do It Easier” tips, with subcategories, like Dressing and Grooming.  In this section you’ll find personal care suggestions on how to go about your daily needs a little easier. For instance:

Sit and shower. To avoid falls in the shower, sit on a waterproof chair. You can buy one at a medical supply store or use a sturdy lawn chair.

Wash up. Instead of using a washcloth when bathing, use a shower mitt made of terry cloth or loofah. If you sew or know someone who does, make these mitts out of an old towel.

Easy nail care. To make trimming fingernails and toenails easier, soak hands and feet beforehand to soften nails.
