Window opening device for someone who can't stand/reach ?

_Whimsical_

I was wondering if there's any device available to help someone reach top windows to open them. There seems to be a window pull available that lets you open a straight forward catch and push the window out but is there anything for more modern windows that have a button you have to push on them while you turn the handle to open them ?I presume the button is a security catch or lock,but it's a standard fitting not something special.

Does anyone here have one or have any ideas ?

If not, an occupational therapist might be able to help

Thank you Rainyday. I have looked at those window pulls but they don't seem to handle the security lock button on the window. I don't think she could afford the infrared sensors. They look like a good idea though.

If anyone has any other suggestions or experience let me know please.

Worth talking to one of the community and voluntary organisations such as Age Action or one of the condition-specific ones, such as MS Ireland, Parkinson's, IMNDA, Alzheimer Society - these tend to be really helpful and usually have a database of such stuff.
