Over the past 20 years I have worked one on one with people who have had special needs in home health care, hospitals, rehab, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. I could see the tremendous obstacles they face each day, many having diseases, disorders and surgeries making them physically challenged. They are constantly being asked for blood pressure, blood work, catheter changes, access to tubes, lines, I.V., surgery areas and chemo-therapy. They experience additional pain when asked to move or while being pushed, pulled, or poked while trying to remove clothing to get access to those areas, or they develop a break down of skin resulting in bed sores because of an insufficient air flow to the skin. While all this time they are usually non-discreetly exposed and extremely cold.

I tried to find home health care and special needs clothing for my disabled client’s, to make life a little easier for them but that was hard to find. VELCRO® brand closures clothing, and snap fasteners was even harder, and to find something that had easy access, easy dress, easy care while being fashionable was next to impossible. My client’s needs grew and grew until, I decided to design clothing for the disabled myself. After first re-designing client’s original clothes, I started to design my own line depending on my patient’s needs such as The Back Closures Hospital Gown which is open in the back for proper air flow. Also with the hospital gown I recommend the Faux Sheepskin Pad to put down on the incontinence pad next to the sheet to increase the air circulation for people that need help with incontinence and or perspiration. 

Another popular item was the side and shoulder snap all access Side Closure Flannel Hospital Gown for that patient that is having multiple procedures done and need a lot of access to the body.

Another is the Blood Pressure / I.V. Bed Jacket designed for the patient that is having chemo-therapy or an I.V. or even trips to the doctor for blood pressures. They don’t have to remove their jacket and can keep it on while having treatment done.

Probably my favorite is my Wheelchair Warming Pouch. Boy, does it keep you warm and cozy even if you’re not using a wheelchair. Also my Back Closure Jumpsuit in flannel for those clients and loved ones that like to get undressed at the wrong times.

I have devoted my life to treatment, therapy, and assistance for patients with special needs due to their health disorders. Much of this has been in designing special needs clothing for the disabled. I also studied Nutrition, Herbology and Homeopathy in Twins, England in addition to achieving my Masters and Doctorate in Natural Health.

I decided to start a web site at www.docmae.com to make available some of the more popular items and give everyone a chance to find clothing for the disabled that has easy access, easy dress, and easy care while still looking good. You too can improve quality of lives by having clothing that is easy care and looks good. Therefore making the client and / or loved one feel good about themselves and how they look.
If you don’t see something that you’re looking for on this site, just let me know and I will design something that will fit your needs.
