Assistive devices: practical support for everyday routines

Assistive devices can make daily life easier when memory, strength, grip, or mobility are not quite enough. This group covers things like pill boxes, compression socks, mobility aids, support products, and tools that make medicine handling easier.

Start with the part of the day that feels hard, not with the product list. If the problem is remembering medicine, a pill box may help. If the strain is on a joint or on walking, the right support or mobility aid matters more than extra features.

A useful assistive device should fit the task, feel easy to use, and not create new stress. If symptoms are sudden, severe, or linked to injury, the device is only part of the answer.
