Gadgets for elderly lady with mobility issues

Hi, am looking for ideas to make life easier for an elderly friend. She already has a can opener which works on its own, and something which helps open ring pulls, and a grabber which helps pick things up off the floor. I had a catalogue through the door once but can't remember the name. Anyone know of such a catalogue, or any other suggestions? I can check out what she's already got fairly easily. Thanks

Big magnifying glass or one of those bean bag trays?

Was it the kleeneze catalogue?
Touch lamp next to the bed are helpful.

There's loads of online shops search Disability aids. Sell loads of things for each room. Plug guards help you pull them out easily, boards hold bread/veg so can cut one hand.

Betterware catalogue?

Thank you. She has a beanbag tray but touch lamp is a good idea. Catalogue was a specialised one rather than betterware or Kleeneze, tho they might be good places to look. Will search on disability aids, thanks
