SafetySure Transfer Belt - Standard Large
$42.76
The SafetySure Transfer Belt wraps around a person's waist so a caregiver has something solid to hold while helping them stand, sit, or move. It has several hand grips, so the caregiver can choose where to hold. The inside is anti-slip to keep the belt from shifting, and a "fix lock" buckle lets the caregiver tighten it after the person is already standing, without opening it. It's used for bed-to-wheelchair and wheelchair-to-toilet or car transfers, for help rising from the floor, and for support while walking. This listing is the Large size; the belt also comes in small and medium, so measure the waist before ordering.

SafetySure StandEase
$64.95
The StandEase is a steel frame with two cushioned arms that sits under a sofa or armless chair and gives you something solid to push up from. It's meant for people who have trouble getting to a standing position, such as someone with arthritis or osteoporosis, or someone recovering from hip surgery. The front legs adjust in height to fit most sofas and chairs, and it goes in place in seconds without tools. It's light enough to move from room to room or bring along on a visit. It's a standing aid for the seat it's installed on, so it won't help you on other furniture unless you move it there.

SafetySure Transfer Belt - Standard Small
$43.95
The SafetySure Transfer Belt wraps around a person's waist so a caregiver has something secure to hold while helping them stand, sit, or move. It has five hand grips, so the caregiver can choose where to hold depending on the task. The inside of the belt is anti-slip, which helps keep it from riding up during a transfer. A buckle lets the caregiver tighten the belt once the person is standing, without opening it. This small size fits waists from 23" to 36" and is rated to 300 lbs. It's used for bed-to-wheelchair and wheelchair-to-toilet or car transfers, for support while walking, and for helping someone up from the floor.

9 Section Telescoping Cane - 54"
$54.95
This telescoping cane extends to 54 inches and folds down to about 10.5 inches, so it tucks into a bag or pocket when not in use. The joints lock automatically as they extend, and a push-button lock helps keep the cane from collapsing if you press down hard on it. One push of the button collapses the whole cane. The joints have a reflective coating that shows up better in the dark, and an elastic wrist strap is included. The product name says nine sections, while the product details say eight, so check the count before ordering if it matters to you.

Ice Treads - Women's
$5.95
These ice treads stretch over the shoes you already own and add five stainless steel spikes underneath, so you get a firmer grip on snow and icy patches. They're lightweight but built to be heavy duty, and they fold small into a resealable vinyl bag you can keep in a coat pocket or purse. This pair is the women's version and fits shoe sizes 5 to 10. It's a good fit for someone who walks outdoors in winter and worries about slipping.

Telescoping Hiking and Walking Cane
$32.76
This four-section telescoping cane works two ways. With the handle folded to the usual horizontal position, it is a regular support cane. Rotate the grip to vertical and it becomes a hiking or walking stick, so one cane can cover errands in town and walks outdoors. It has a titanium and metal alloy body with a red bottom section, and it collapses when you press the top button, which makes it easy to carry or store. It comes in 38" and 42" sizes, so you need to pick the right one when ordering.

U-Step 2 Walker, Seat and Basket
$539.95
The U-Step 2 is a four-wheeled walker with a U-shaped base that surrounds you as you walk, so it braces you from several directions instead of just in front. The brakes hold the walker still until you lightly squeeze a release lever, and it stops as soon as you let go, which helps when standing up from a chair because it won't roll away. It has a padded seat with an adjustable backrest, a removable basket, adjustable height and 4" non-marking casters. The listed weight capacity is 375 lbs. It measures 23"W x 22"H x 25"L, with a 20" seat width. It's a complete walker, but a therapist or ATP can help confirm the height and brake tension fit you and that it suits your balance and how you'll use it.

Deluxe Folding Walker, Two Button with Wheels
$59.95
This folding walker has 5-inch wheels on the front legs and a 1-inch anodized aluminum frame, so it stays light but sturdy. You fold it by pressing two buttons, and you can press them with fingers, a palm, or the side of your hand, which helps if grip is limited. The two sides work on their own, so it moves more easily through narrow spaces and stays steadier when you stand. It suits an adult or older person who needs support while walking and wants a walker that stores and travels easily.

Folding Half Step Step Stool
$19.95
This folding step stool raises you 4 inches, which is half the height of a standard step. That makes it easier to get into a car, onto a bed, or over a single step at a house entrance. It can also give you a little extra reach for a kitchen shelf. It supports up to 300 pounds, and it folds flat to reveal a carrying handle, so you can take it with you or put it away when you're done. Because it only adds a small lift, it won't help where the gap is much bigger than a few inches.

8 Section Telescoping Cane - 50"
$52.95
This is a 50-inch folding cane made of eight titanium sections that lock into place as you extend it. A push button keeps it from collapsing under pressure while you walk, and a single press of that button folds the whole cane down to 10.5 inches, so it tucks into a bag or pocket. The joints are coated with reflective material to help others see it in the dark, and an elastic wrist strap is included. It weighs less than a standard mobility cane and has a fixed metal tip, so it suits someone who wants a light, portable cane for getting around or for being seen. A 54-inch version is also made, so check your height and the length you need before choosing.

Ramble Tag Original
$42.95
The Ramble Tag Original is a bright orange cuff that the sighted guide wears on their upper arm. A webbed loop hangs from it, and the person being guided holds the loop instead of the guide's elbow. That keeps the pair connected while leaving a bit more space between them. It can go on either arm and comes in a left-handle or right-handle style, so you'll want to pick the side that keeps the guided person's free hand next to the loop, away from their cane or dog. The orange color marks it as a guidance aid, and someone with limited sight may be able to spot it.

I Have Low Vision Pin
$1.95
This is a round white pin, 2 inches across, with the words "I Have Low Vision" printed in red. Wearing it tells people around you about your vision before you have to say anything, which can head off awkward moments when others don't realize you need a bit of help. It suits someone who gets by with some sight but often finds that strangers assume they see fine. It's a visual cue only, so it won't speak up for you in every situation.

Braille & Large Print Slimline Keyboard
$385.95
This wired Windows keyboard puts large, high-contrast print and permanently molded Braille on every key, so you can type by sight or by touch. The Braille is built into the keys, so unlike sticker overlays it won't peel or fade. That makes it a good fit for someone with low vision, or for a person who is learning Braille and wants to see and feel the same key. Two USB ports on the keyboard let you plug in a flash drive, a mouse, or a small lamp. It works with Windows PCs only, so Mac users will need a different option.

iPad Bluetooth keypad - Black Keys, White Letters
$114.95
This wireless keyboard connects to an iPad, iPhone, or iPod over Bluetooth and uses bold black letters on white keys, so the labels are easier to see. It's a full-size layout with 78 or 79 keys, measuring about 11 by 5 inches, and it runs on 2 AAA batteries that come in the box. The range is up to about 33 feet. That makes it a good fit for someone who finds the on-screen keyboard hard to see or hard to hit accurately and wants real keys to type on. It only works as a typing tool, so it does nothing without a compatible Apple device to pair with.

LCD Magnifier & Filter For 19" Screen
$142.95
This is a lens panel that hangs over the front of a 19-inch computer monitor and makes on-screen text and images up to twice as large. It uses fresnel lenses, which are thin, flat lenses that magnify without the weight. The lens has a light tint that adds contrast, which can make text easier to pick out. It's meant for someone who finds a standard monitor too small to read comfortably and wants a no-software way to enlarge it. A fresnel lens is fixed at its set strength, so it won't zoom in and out like screen magnification software does.

Offset Handle Cane
$20.95
This walking cane has an offset handle, which puts your weight directly over the shaft instead of in front of it, so the cane sits more steadily under your hand. The soft foam grip is gentler to hold than a hard handle, and the height adjusts from 30 to 39 inches so you can set it to fit. It is rated for users up to 300 pounds. It's a straightforward everyday cane for someone who needs light support while walking, and it works right out of the box once the height is set.

LCD Magnifier & Filter For 17" Screen
$118.95
This screen-mounted magnifier uses Fresnel lenses (thin, flat lenses) to make text and images on a 17-inch monitor up to 2X larger. A light tint helps boost contrast, which can make characters easier to pick out. It hangs from the top of the monitor, so you don't need software or settings to get the benefit. Someone who finds standard-size text on their computer screen hard to read can use it as a simple, low-tech fix.

LCD Magnifier & Filter for 15" Screen
$94.95
This panel hangs in front of a 15-inch LCD monitor and makes what's on the screen look up to twice as big. It uses fresnel lenses, which are thin, flat lenses that magnify. The lenses carry a light tint that helps text and images stand out more clearly. It hangs from the top of the monitor, so you can put it up yourself. It suits someone who can read the screen but needs larger characters to do it comfortably. Magnification tops out at 2X, so someone who needs much more will want screen-magnifying software or a larger display.

2.5X Clip-On Medical Bottle Magnifier
$6.45
This small magnifier clips onto a prescription bottle, and you swing the 2.5X lens out to read the label. It helps with the fine print on dosage and instruction labels, where a misread could lead to a mistake. The clip has rubberized ends so it grips larger bottles without slipping. When you're done, fold the lens back against the bottle to keep it compact. It's made for most standard prescription bottles, so it's worth a glance at your bottle size before ordering.

Push Button XL 2X/Day Pill Box
$16.76
This weekly pill organizer has a morning and an evening compartment for each day, Sunday through Saturday, so a week of doses can be sorted in advance. Each compartment opens with a large push button, which takes less effort than a small flip lid and helps when hands are weak or shaky. The lids are see-through and the day labels are in big capital letters, so pills and compartments are easy to identify. Four silicone feet grip the counter so you can open it with one hand, and the compartments are roomy enough for larger pills and vitamins. Because the whole week is loaded ahead, it works well for a caregiver who fills it for someone else.

1X/Day, 7 Day Extra Large Pill Box
$4.95
This pill box has seven compartments, one for each day of the week, so you can set out a single daily dose ahead of time. Each day is marked in large dark blue letters, 1 inch tall, against a high-contrast background, which makes the labels easy to read at a glance. At about 9 inches long, the box is big enough to handle comfortably. It suits someone with a simple routine of one dose per day, but there are no Braille markings, and it won't work for several doses a day.

Pill Cutter with Magnifier
$18.95
This pill cutter splits pills and vitamins with a stainless steel blade, and a built-in magnifier in the cover helps you see the pill as you cut. An adjustable slide guide holds pills of different shapes in the center, so the cut lands where you want it. A finger shield covers the blade when the lid is open, and an ergonomic grip cover makes it easier to hold. It suits someone who has trouble seeing small pills or controlling a standard cutter, and it is a complete tool that needs nothing else to use.

Basic Pill Splitter
$6.95
This pill splitter cuts a tablet in half when you close the lid over it, using a stainless steel blade. It's made for pills of different shapes and sizes, and there's an extra compartment to hold the unused half until later. The lid snaps shut when you're done, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe. It's a simple, sturdy option if you've been told to take half doses or want to buy higher-strength pills and cut them down, though it has no magnifier to help you see small pills.
