You do not need a full home remodel to make life easier. Often, one or two well-chosen devices create the biggest day-to-day relief.
1) Reacher / grabber
Useful for laundry, kitchen shelves, and anything on the floor. It helps avoid risky bending and awkward stretching.
2) Shower chair with non-slip feet
A simple way to lower fatigue and improve confidence in the shower, especially on lower-energy days.
3) Grab bars (properly installed)
One of the highest-impact safety devices in the home. Correct placement matters more than brand.
4) Motion night lights
Better nighttime visibility lowers trip risk. Warm, low-glare options are usually easiest on older eyes.
5) Pill organizer with clear labels
A steady weekly system reduces missed doses and daily decision fatigue.
The best tool is the one you will actually use every day.

Start with one pain point
Pick the one moment that feels hardest right now (shower, stairs, bedtime, meds). Solve that first before buying anything else.
