Grooming and hygiene
Long-handled and easy-grip versions of everyday items. Dignity work, and usually the first thing a person wants back.
How to use this page
Every item below is listed with what it is for, the price band to expect, and the brands you will actually see. Ask your occupational or physical therapist which of these fits before you buy: much of it is covered as durable medical equipment with a physician order.
