Adaptive Essentials & Comfort Wear

Going to the shower for someone who is dependent on a wheelchair for their transportation can be a bit cumbersome. They may need to gather clothing, towels, etc. If they have a shower robe to cover up with, it is just the towel and any cleansing items to carry. The wheelchair shower robe is made of terry cloth or cuddle fleece and covers the person completely while they move along to the shower. The wheelchair shower robe keeps them warm and modest.

Take a look at our wheelchair shower robes for women and wheelchair shower robes for men. This item makes a really great gift idea for the person with a handicap. We invite you to look through our catalog for other clothing ideas.

Why would I purchase a hospital gown for my aging parent or relative who lives in a nursing home? Often the resident of a nursing home requires physical care after retiring to bed. This is especially true if the person needs assistance with toileting, uses a bedside commode, or is limited in her/his ability to reposition.

With our open back hospital gowns, a caregiver may provide personal care thoroughly and easily and the dignity of the woman or man is maintained. Our selections of comfortable, open back hospital gowns are available in many prints, colors and fabrics. Like all of our clothing, the hospital gowns are washable and require no ironing. The snap closure high on the shoulder prevents discomfort from pressure points and the generous fabric overlay insures coverage when standing.

Smoker’s aprons can prevent burns in clothing and keep hot ashes from burning the skin. Our smoker’s aprons are made from a flame retardant material that holds up after numerous washings.

While it is desirable to encourage individuals to decrease or stop smoking, if they have smoked for a number of years, that will be difficult. We want to protect them and their clothing from burns, so the answer is our smoker’s apron.

Use of a wheelchair to get around shouldn't stop you from outdoor adventures in most weather conditions. We carry a variety of outerwear all year long for both women and men.

Our rainproof wheelchair cape (women's poncho) is lined with fleece for extra coziness. The wheelchair cape (poncho) has a shortened back to prevent bunching while seated, yet has an extended front length to provide adequate leg coverage to keep the rain off. For those days with only a slight chill choose our sweat fleece wheelchair cape (poncho). It is cut shorter than the other ponchos. We also have a men's fleece cape (poncho) made of Polar Fleece®. Choose this wheelchair cape (poncho) for that extra warmth when going out in the cooler weather.

Comfort, support and ease of dressing are very desirable features for the older woman when choosing a bra. Minimal stress on the shoulders, soft fabric in the strap and cup and easy to wear attributes are key for women who may have decreased arm mobility due to aging or arthritis or shoulder movement restrictions.

Sometimes the problem that plagues the person with Alzheimer’s form of dementia is the tendency to undress inappropriately due to the need for the hands to stay busy. This behavior can be very stressful for family and friends and of course for the individual if she or he is aware of what she is doing.

Our women’s and men’s jumpsuits are perfect for this situation. There are no buttons, snaps or zippers to fiddle with. The jumpsuit design is based upon the "out of sight out of mind" theory for those plagued with a dementia. The hands are always busy and anything she can get the fingers on is fair game. The individual doesn't intend to disrobe, but because the buttons are there, she cannot resist playing with them. The consequences can find the person without their garments and causing an embarrassing situation. You can prevent that from happening with our men’s and women’s back zip jumpsuits for wear during the day as well as our jumpsuit nightwear. We have a great selection to choose from and your loved one will look great and stay modest and warm.
