STRAP MAKES GETTING IN AND OUT OF CAR EASY

People with balance or strength problems caused by conditions such as Parkinson’s or advancing age often have difficulty getting in and out of a car. Fortunately, there is an inexpensive and simple-to-use product that can make a big difference for them. Users simply attach a durable strap to the frame of the car door. They can use the strap for balance or stability to help them go from sitting in the car to standing next to it. The strap is adjustable so that it fits on different- sized doors. It is made of a durable nylon so that it will last a long time. It’s comfortable to use, and offers a soft cushion grip.

This comfortable, easy to use strap provides that extra security when getting out of a car. When home care is needed, COMFORT KEEPERS offers a full range of services. We are located at 1071 Main St., Ste. 100, Fairfax. Office hours: M - F 9 - 5 and our care services are available 24/7. Call 703.591.7117 for more information and a consultation to review your needs. Comforting Solution for In-Home Care. We employ only the most dependable, caring, and friendly staff. We are an affordable alternative that allows you It is a mistake to look too far ahead. to remain in your own home.
