There are websites that specialize in many of the things mentioned. Old Pueblo Traders is one.

There probably is.  What is wrong with the OP's suggestion that QVC carry some of these products?

 

Could you please list these websites so we can spend our money elsewhere and not have to spend hours looking online for these products?  TIA.

Maybe not a full show, so how about maybe a video with some of the products you suggested? People could click and watch without having to devote a whole show to a specific audience.


 

And they don't already "devote a whole show to a specific 

audience"?

Really sorry I suggested having a show once in awhile devoted to those needing snap front robes and pants that are not difficult to pull on and off.  I guess older folks should be happy searching the vast QVC inventory looking for a cardigan that brings warmth and comfort.  Yes QVC must remain devoted to presenting items for the stylish.  At some point even the shoppers of Denim &co might wish for fewer squirrels and more basic non designer apparel.  But I better never see a show geared toward infants!  And heaven knows I will keep my suggestions to myself and allow those in charge at QVC remain the idea folks.


 

@Gabidog Don't be sorry.  I do feel bad that we have all endured comments from a few nasty people, but putting that aside, I think this is a good discussion that may have made some people think.

 

A lot of ladies have arthritis and other health issues, and would welcome a show like this IMO.

I agree with you. Sorry you were treated so unkind be a few posters.

QVC used to offer a line called Gold Violin that featured many of the items you suggested.

I think that company went out of business a few years ago.

 

But there have to be other companies that would like to fill that market.

Not just for seniors but for people with all kinds of limitations.

@Gabidog   I think you have an excellent suggestion.  It could be "Stylish Seniors" but with comfortable items that would accommodate those of us with arthritis and other disabilities, but who still want to be comfortable and stylish. 

 

I'm sorry that there were so many snide, unnecessary comments made by some. It's wonderful that they are ageing healthy and want to dress "youthfully", if that's what you want to call the QVC clothing. 

 

There are just as many of us who have physical problems as we age and being stylish and comfortable certainly does not deserve a derisive remark.

You have made a good suggestion @Gabidog . My 50ish acquaintance had to buy things for his parents who are in assisted living. Can only drop items at the door - no visiting allowed. I think he would have liked to see some items that his parents might like. Shoes with Velcro closures come to mind.

I am here to tell all of you, no matter your age, it only takes one fall to change your life.  ESPECIALLY, if you are older. 

 

I speak from experience after a horrific fall in the bathroom.

I have had relatives in need of things like this for 30 years and I can tell you there really is a market for people who have trouble getting in and out of clothes, who are on walkers and wheelchairs, and so on.

 

Unless you've been in that world, you aren't aware of it perhaps.  Most of the people I've known get there unless they die relatively young. 


@Sooner   You could not be more correct. And, there are those younger as well.  Being disabled or elderly doesn't mean you can't be comfortable and stylish.
