Adaptive Sleepwear For Men

 Men’s Nightshirt Gown Back Snap Long Sleeve Light Weight Cotton Poly Size M/3XLI recently had a comment from a woman looking for adaptive sleepwear for her father. I had to do some exploring to find out exactly what adaptive sleepwear was and why it was needed. Here’s what I discovered….

Some elderly men, particularly those with Alzheimer’s, like to take off their sleepwear. Sometimes, this is simply because their hands need to keep busy (check out the lap buddy to keep an Alzheimer friend’s hands busy….) so they wiggle out of their sleepwear on their own.

In this case, no matter how many warm pajama sets or other sleepwear one buys for their Alzheimers friend, a visit to their elderly loved one may find their friend shivering in the cold, disrobed on their own from their pajamas. Enter adaptive sleepwear.

Adaptive sleepwear comes in nightshirts, pajama tops, or open back gowns. The adaptive nightshirts might have a few snaps down the front which can be snapped and unsnapped all day long, keeping the hands busy.

The trick to this type of night clothing for Alzheimer’s patients is that the actual snaps which hold the nightshirt on are down the back, thereby making it almost impossible for them to take the nightshirt off on their own. The snaps down the back also make it easier for a caregiver to get their elderly friend dressed. That’s a win-win situation!

So, after some searching, I found these great adaptive nightshirts, pajamas, and open backed gowns on Amazon.com. Here’s hoping these adaptive sleepwear keep your elderly loved one warm and toasty this winter.

Most Alzheimer’s or dementia patients won’t be able to undo the snaps going down the back of these nightshirts. If they do, well, more power to ’em….

Open Back Adaptive Sleepwear Pajama Tops and Gowns for Men

Open back adaptive pajamas or gowns for men have an open back that makes it very easy for a caregiver to slip the top over the patient’s head. These are wonderful presents for bedridden or hospice patients.
