This is a new design. The large object at the bottom is used for stopping doors. the long stick will stop the person from bending over. The other side contains a device which helps a person to wear his/her shoe.

The designs are explained quite well and the sketch is great. You should also talk more about why it is not elderly friendly.
The design is not elder-friendly as the user will have to bend over to use the stopper. Any person with a back problem will not be able to do so.
