A reaching aid allowing a physically impaired user to retrieve one or more distant items is discussed. The reaching aid includes an apparatus body, a handle, a retrieving hook, and optionally a retrieving probe. The handle may be pivotally coupled with the apparatus body on a proximal end portion and may optionally include a limb support. One or both of the retrieving hook or the retrieving probe are disposed at a distal end portion of the apparatus body and may be movable both longitudinally and rotatably using an actuating arm member. A method of manufacturing and a method of using the reaching aid are also discussed.
