Dealing with the daily challenge of caring for loved ones afflicted by Alzheimers is what brought us together to create Ovidis. This is where our story begins.

The most challenging part of our day was trying to deal with the emotions: the constant frustration, humiliation and sadness their loved ones expressed by being unable to handle mundane tasks such as getting dressed. The solution for dressing meant compromising stylish fashions in favour of basic utility. Living with a disability or with a limited range of mobility should not mean a person has to settle.

We realized getting dressed in the right clothing had a transformative impact on mood, essential for mental health and self-esteem.  The clothes we wear affects how other people perceive us and more importantly, how we think and feel about ourselves.

Our goal was to create a line of adaptive clothing that would enable our loved ones dealing with increasing disability, to wear comfortable and curated styles that made them feel dignified.

We believe families, caregivers and professionals should know that options exist to help deliver a positive and painless experience to patients and family members needing assistance getting dressed, something we too often take for granted. The notion of dressing with dignity and enhancing confidence is the epicentre of our core beliefs.
