There is no place like home. But for some senior citizens, home is no longer a place that is safe or accessible due to their age, mobility issues or sickness.
One company is seeking to change this. “Stander” is a company specializing in mobility solutions for the home and daily life. Whether it be a caddie for the car or a bed rail, “Stander” has many products that will help to make the home of a senior citizen safer and more trusting for everyone involved.
The following is a list of products, broken down by category, that can provide help in a variety of situations and places for people of older age, people with mobility issues and even young children.
