A gadget called an ECU (environmental control unit) lets you adjust the heat or air-conditioning with the push of a button. You can also use it to turn on the lights and open and close the drapes. Here is some other equipment to consider:
- A bed that rises and lowers by pushing a button
- Button and zipper hooks, a long-handle shoehorn, and sock aids to help you put on and fasten clothing
- A bedside commode so you don't have to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
