【Live with Dignity and Pride with Tailored
Made Adaptive Clothing】
Due to the changing physical conditions of patients, whom may have difficulty
moving their arms or body, or have other physical support needs, their normal
clothing may no longer be suitable for them. Many caretakers feel challenging
whenever they needed to help chronically ill patients to get change. Former
social worker Ms. Swing Lau, founder of social enterprise – “Home Care Apparel”
(“FPP HCA”), felt a strong need to help the patients to live more
comfortably and with dignity. Based on her previous experience from serving in nursing
homes, Lau founded FPP HCA and introduced the concept of adaptive clothing to the
city. She designs personalized clothing according to the needs of her patients including
urine bag pants, jumpsuits, anti-strip pants, etc. She strives to smoothen the
caring process as well as to minimize possible injuries for both the patients
and the caregivers.
In the past, FPP HCA tailor-designed clothing for an old man who had
dementia, poor self-caring ability, and foot pain problems. With one specially
made pants, the client’s life and relationship with his caregiver was improved.

Urine Bag Pants The design allows user’s urine bag to be hidden inside the trousers, making it more comfortable for users to wear it and permits them to go out without physical obstacles. |
