Typically a physical therapist…an occupational therapist may show you equipment to make specific tasks easier/safer (such as special utensils for eating, bathroom safety equipment, a grabber), but a PT typically recommends mobility aids: walkers, crutches, canes, etc.

If you think you will need it only short term then a walking frame would probably do the job fine.
Many chairs at home are very low, you can get something to raise the height of your chair which makes it easier to stand without help. I’ll edit if I can find one similar online.
When you are ready to stand up, shuffle your bottom as far forward on the seat as you can, again it makes standing easier.

edit – here’s a link, and they are not as expensive as I thought they might be! http://www.betterlifehealthcare.com/view_product.php?prodID=6782
