Abstract: A device to aid a person to stand up from a sitting position on a chair or the seat of a water closet is provided with a base panel that is cut out to interfit around the base of the water closet or support and hold an easy chair. Horizontal stop members in the form of a vertical hole through a block are attached on the top of the panel to receive the bottom ends of chair legs sitting on the top of the base panel. Two members, one on each side of the chair, inclined upwardly past the front of the chair, are attached to the base panel and supported at the front ends. A front section of the inclined member is a cantilever section to be gripped by the hands to facilitate rising from the chair. Rails are structurally attached to the inclined members extending forwardly proximate and below the front ends of the inclined members to allow the person to rise up, rest his or her hands on the rail members and begin walking away from the chair or seat.
