Able Life Handy Handle, Lift Assist Device for Elderly and Disabled, Patient Standing Aid for Handicapped, Blue with Rubber Grip​

My mom need some help getting up and transferring from seated positions to standing, theses are awesome. They're easy to use and save my back and arms for helping her and makes it easier for her too. So good I bought two! One for my back pack for when we're out and about and one for the house. Can't recommend enough! Made of good sturdy plastic and nice foam handles, makes it light weight and easy to use and carry.

Hubby is post-stroke invalid who has serious mobility issues, especially when it comes to standing up. These come in super handy when his regular equipment is not handy for whatever reason.Before I found these, I often had to call for help in getting him upright when his BestCare was not available. With this, he can grasp it with his good hand, put his "bad" hand around it for balance; I grab the other end, somewhat for pulling, but for something steady for him to pull against, & up he comes. Been a lifesaver on occasion, like when the electricity is out & his easy chair is stuck in an awkward position, or he needs to get in/out of a vehicle that doesn't have easy handles.We use it mainly for getting him up when necessary, but, of course, it also works to help lower him into a sit as well.

It seems sturdy enough but it is smaller than I imagined it would be.

This has been so very helpful to get my mom off the floor. She's 5'2 and 125 pounds. I don't usually pull her to standing (too hard on my back) but it's an excellent help to get her on her knees to grab something sturdy to get her to a standing position. This has cut down on the number of times we've had to call the ambulance for them to help her. The grip is thick enough for us to wrap our fingers around but not too thick. Mom and I do have small hands but I imagine the way it's constructed would even due well for someone with larger hands (just my opinion). Some said it wouldn't help to get someone off of the floor. I used to have a hard and painful time trying to get her even to her knees and this has elevated that so much. Not entirely easy on my back as I'm 5'4 and 135 pounds but what a difference! I highly recommend this!

I was hoping that my 90 year old mom who is living with dementia, and sometimes doesn't want to be touched, would find this a helpful tool. She's not strong enough to hold it while I help her stand. It was worth trying. Maybe for someone who lacks leg strength but not finger and arm strength, and who has the mental capacity to hang on until standing.

Very well made and already made a big difference for my 86 year old grandparents. I worry about my grandma becoming injured when she helps my grandpa, who has Parkinson's, stand up. The amount of leverage this gives both of them made an obvious difference in the amount of strain on my grandma. They were very excited that I purchases this on a whim. The packaging was difficult to open. The zip ties are thick and extremely close to the item, and I imagine impossible for older customers to cut through. It's portable enough to carry in an average size purse. I'm glad I bought this and was glad to see how much they both appreciated the usefulness of this handle.

Works very well and compact size is nice feature

Doesn't work because it is too small. I tried several ways to make this work for my mom and there was no way to get it to work. The width is not enough to allow the person to hold it and stand. I thought I put in for the return, but when I showed up to Staples I had not so I am stuck with this piece of junk. It is an engineering disaster.
