New Items -- We are happy to announce the addition of Golf Playing Aids to our product line. These items are designed to reduce the amount of repetitive bending required to tee up balls, repair divots, pick up tees, balls and clubs. Any golfer that would like to reduce the amount of  bending should take a look. Joe's BACKTEE (shown) attaches to the end of a standard grip allowing you to "tee the ball up" without bending or stooping.

We have four styles of sturdy, lightweight Reachers to extend your reach. You'll appreciate features like the durable aluminum shafts, plastic serrated jaws, and easy operation. When considering reacher function, quality and value, there is no comparison. Take a look at: North Coast FeatherLite, Rainbow and E-Z ®.

Dress without bending over! Button clothes easily! Then you need to take a look at our button hook and dressing stick. There is even a collapsible dressing stick for travel. You can also stuff it in a bag as a take along on those shopping trips to aid you with changing clothes. Trouble keeping those shoes tied? Try our elastic laces. We also have a shoe remover. Need help getting those socks or pantyhose on? You'll be surprised how easy it is with our sock, and pantyhose aids. We also have long handle shoe horns and a total hip replacement kit for anyone who has hip problems or is facing total hip replacement surgery.

We all love to eat. We have a variety of items to make it easier. Our Mug With Lid and Handles has two large comfortable grooved handles, allowing for steady control of the contents. We have utensils that are specially shaped with built-up, weighted, handles to make eating a whole lot easier. We also have dishes and plates that grip the surface. These are perfect for someone needing a little extra assistance.

Several types of raised toilet seats are available that are lightweight and easy to clean, and we also carry spill proof urinals. Or you may be interested in the 3-in-1 freestanding commode and bath seat.

My idea of exercise is moving pizza from the box to my mouth. But alas, we need to exercise. We have air-putty and several other devices to strengthen hands, over the door pulley's, and a pedal exerciser. There is a Therabath® that provides a deep-heat treatment for sore joints and muscles. Great to get the hand, wrist, elbow or foot prepared for daily tasks. We also have a vibrator with heat to help with those aches and pains.
