Small things that make a big difference at home.
Simple, inexpensive items that help a parent stay comfortable and independent. We only list products we would put in our own mother's home, and no company pays to be on this page.
Daily comfort and independence
Reading glasses, in multi-packs
Keep a pair in every room, by the pill organizer and in the car, so nobody has to hunt for them before reading a label or a bill.
Lighted magnifying glass
For small print on prescription bottles, mail and appliance dials. A built-in light helps in dim kitchens and bedrooms.
Reacher-grabber
Picks things up off the floor and down from a high shelf without bending or climbing on a step stool.
Sock aid
Makes putting on socks possible without bending all the way down, which helps keep getting dressed a do-it-yourself job.
Long-handled bath sponge
Reaches the back and feet in the shower without twisting or reaching, a small help with independence in the bathroom.
Back scratcher
A simple comfort that's easy to overlook. It's one less thing to ask someone for help with.
Store links are coming soon. In the meantime, every item here is easy to find at a pharmacy or online retailer.
