For those living with Alzheimer's, the struggle of daily dressing can leave many feeling frustrated and anxious. The way we dress is a means of showing our personality and staying positive making clothes incredibly important.

The Alzheimer's recommended clothing range for both women and men has been designed to provide style without the struggle for self dressing and also to ease the process of assisted dressing.

At The Able Label, gardens, horticulture and nature have always been a great source of inspiration which reflects in the range.

This month we have been admiring (from afar) the beautiful RHS Royal Hampton Court Flower Show.

If like us, you haven't been able to visit, you can still appreciate all of the rich colours, intriguing plant species and innovative garden designs online!

We have picked out a few of our favourite of the garden displays from the show, to inspire you and to share some of the beautiful talent.

This week we have been lucky to have a quick catch up with Su, an incredible NHS doctor and all-round fabulous lady from our original photoshoot. 

Following a stroke over 20 years ago, Su's left side was affected, resulting in a fixed flexion in her elbow limiting use of her left arm, meaning dressing is with one hand.

After a stroke, getting back to your daily routine can be a struggle, especially the process of getting dressed. How we dress is a means of showing our personality and staying positive. Discrete adaptations to clothes can transform lives, give back confidence and help to maintain your independence. Here are some of our top tips for easier dressing.

This week we are catching up with Debbie, another of our fabulous ladies from the first photoshoot!

As an arts and crafts enthusiast, Debbie has lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of twelve, yet has not let the condition get in her way.
