A retractable support handle includes a mounting bracket having a rear plate configured to secure to a mounting surface via one or more fasteners. A support bar includes a first end connected to a spring-loaded hinge within the mounting bracket and a second end extending outwardly from a slot disposed on a front plate of the mounting bracket. The support bar is rotatable between a raised vertical position and a lowered horizontal position. The spring-loaded hinge is configured to automatically return the support bar to the raised vertical position when the retractable support handle is not in use. A user may grasp and rotate the support bar to the lowered horizontal position to provide a support handle when needed. When the user releases the support bar, the spring-loaded hinge automatically retracts the support bar to the raised vertical position.

A standing assistive device is provided having a wall bracket and an arm portion with handle. The wall bracket may be affixed to a wall either in front of or behind either side of a toilet.

Additionally, the second pivot makes it possible for the handle on the arm portion to be positioned directly in front of the user when the user pulls himself or herself up. An optional wall-mounted ladder bracket allows the user to adjust the vertical mounting position of the device.
