Assisted Living aids for Disabled & Handicapped Seniors

Disabled and/or handicapped older adults face challenges every day that others 

often don’t understand or even think about. Despite these challenges, they strive 

to live as independently as possible and want the same opportunities and choices in 

their lives as those without disabilities.

These disabilities, the most common functional type being mobility limitation – defined 

as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs, may result in the need to choose assisted 

living as their daily option.

People with disabilities use assistive devices in the home to enable them to be more 

independent. Examples of common assistive devices are walkers or canes which are used to 

assist with walking and to provide support to the body to remain upright. Assistive devices 

improve quality of life and increase independence. Let’s look at a few assistive devices that 

can be used in the home.

•        360 Degree Rotating Car Seat Cushion

•        Patient Lift sling

•        Bed ladder assist
