Winter gloves/mittens
Hello!
Hopefully, this is a simple question. For years, my parents spent the winters in Florida, but now they are in a more northern state and still don't have all the warm clothes that they need. I would like to get Dad some gloves or mittens, but I had him try a pair of my husbands. Dad had no idea how to put them on, and, with his arthritic hands, I think that it is going to be a struggle for me, too. Any idea where I might go to get some "easy to put on" gloves or mittens for those times in the winter when we might need to get out?
Thanks.

Would just loose-fitting mittens work? Seems if they are loose, like XL, might be easier for you to help him putting them on.

They do make adaptive mittens.

Glad you found something that works!
I have also seen some disability gadgets that can help assist people with pain or limited mobility put on gloves easier but I don't know if that is applicable to caregivers putting them on or the person themself.
