Shortly after founders grandmother Essie’s 90th birthday, her physical health started to decline – and daily tasks like standing from her couch, bed, and car became quite difficult.

At the time (1997) – there weren’t many tools to help Essie with these tasks; and in effort to help her grandmother age comfortably – Founder teamed up with her husband, Troy (a Rocket Scientist Engineer), and created a few “furniture-like” mobility aids to help Essie stand without ruining the comforting feeling of her home.

And for the first time in years – Essie felt confident in her mobility…

Now Essie had the confidence and support she needed to live independently; and she continued to live in her home 7-years longer than we ever expected.
