Adaptive Clothing and Dressing Aids
A hospital gown that's so cute it could easily work as an adaptive dress outside the hospital too! Easy on and off for the mood boost from putting on clean clothes and wearing something cute. I'm going to buy one.
Utopia Care Women's Soft Hospital Gown
Cuter than a typical hospital gown and it looks comfy and easy to change into and out of after surgery and on very low energy days.
Deyeek Women's Tear Away Nursing Gown
Another tool to help you get dressed more independently
27" Dressing Stick & Sock Remover Tool
A nice little tool that can help you be more independent when getting dressed
RMS Button Hook & Zipper Pull - Grey
I'm definitely going to get this one, putting on socks takes me a ridiculous amount of energy.
RMS Deluxe Sock Aid with Foam Handles
Hygiene
Anything that helps make a shower easier is a big win for me! This looks like it helps you save a lot of energy and bend down less which would be especially helpful if you have POTS.
Love, Lori Silicone Foot Scrubber Mat - Blue
Not just a back brush, these are so helpful for reaching to wash your feet and legs without bending to do so. Makes a shower or bath a lot easier.
Shower Body Brush with Loofah & Long Handle
If a mulberry silk pillowcase is too slippery for you and you toss and turn a lot while you sleep a mulberry silk bonnet might be a good alternative. It still protects your hair while you sleep and helps you go longer between washes if you're an oily...
YANIBEST Adjustable Silk Satin Hair Bonnet
Safety
If you have one spot in the house that you prefer to sit, but it's hard to stand back up, this device could be really helpful! Or if you don't always sit in the same seat but you do have someone who can help you move these to your seat, it could help...
Able Life Universal Stand Assist Chair Lift
A nice convenient assistive device to have in your bathroom if you have balance problems or difficulty with switching between sitting and standing to use the toilet.
Medline Adjustable Toilet Safety Rail
These tool free bed rails provide safety and help with independence for just $45 when they're not on sale! Most importantly they're certified safe.
Vaunn Adjustable Bed Assist Rail Handle
This is a handy little device that I had no idea existed! I use my cane to get into and out of a vehicle, but this looks so much more stable and convenient.
Vive Car Handle Assist for Elderly - Grab Bar
Such a helpful tool for taking food in and out of the oven without burning yourself. I wish that I had known about this years ago when I used a wheelchair all of the time!
Norpro 1229 Silicone Oven Rack Push/Pull
Other Tools and Aids
This is marked for knee replacement or back surgery, but it would be just as helpful for mobility problems. If you were wanting a few of the disability assistance items I shared earlier in this list this is a pretty good price for a nice set of assis...
RMS 7-Piece Hip Knee Replacement Kit
I wanted to include a reacher grabber tool on this list just in case anyone didn't realize how much one of these might really help them. If you have any pain, balance, or other difficulties with bending over to pick things up, reaching over to grab t...
31" Reacher Grabber Tool for Elderly
This foot lifting strap looks very helpful for people with limited mobility, including wheelchair users.
RMS 35" Long Leg Lifter - Mobility Tool
Helps you sit up in bed without assistance, or with less assistance depending on your arm strength
Vive Bed Ladder Assist - Pull Up Device
If you feel uncomfortable with having visible body hair like I do a IPL laser hair removal device might be very helpful to not have to shave as often in the future. This one has a solid 5 stars after hundreds of reviews!
