An apparatus to assist a person having reduced manual dexterity in removing a cap from a container, the apparatus comprising a base and at least two tabs for removing the cap of the container by manual force against the tabs directly applied by one or more of the users's fingers or a narrow portion of an ulnar side of a forearm of the user. The tabs each extend upright from the base and are spaced from each other for engaging opposite sides of the at least one finger or the forearm. The tabs are arranged for twisting open the cap by turning the forearm or the finger solely by movement of the user's arm, so that gripping of the cap is unnecessary, in order to engage the tabs and rotate the cap in an opening direction while one of the fingers on the palm side and the forearm on the ulnar side is positioned between the tabs and against the base. The tabs may either extend parallel to each other or flare outwardly.
