Why we know this works!

We love this faucet adapter because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch simple routines like handwashing and toothbrushing turn frustrating when fingers can no longer twist a handle. How does a touchless adapter help at the sink? It screws onto most gooseneck faucets and uses a motion sensor: set your water temperature once, then the water starts when hands come near and shuts off by itself after 3 minutes of no movement, so nothing has to be gripped or turned and the water is never left running. This is especially freeing for people with arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or limited arm strength, and for anyone washing up from a wheelchair at the kitchen or bathroom sink. Check your faucet style first, since it fits gooseneck faucets with standard threads, and if the real problem is reaching the water stream rather than turning the handle, our LionHeart Faucet Extender solves that instead.
