Daily Comforts
Warmth and softness is nice to make the day a little more comfortable
Even an Ipad is hard for seniors to hold. This always gets rave reviews “thank you so much! Why didn't i think of this??”
Lap Pillow For IPads & Tablets
It's hard to regulate body temp at the ripe ol' age of 80! Make it easer for your granny to get warm :)
Heated Throw Blanket
Balance and falling are very real fears for old folks, non skid socks are a quick way to help avoid slips
Thick Grip Fuzzy Non Skid Socks
Kitchen Gadgets
Reaching for items above mid height can feel difficult to seniors. Move as much as you can to accessible locations on the counter or lower cabinets
A sturdy mug tree on the counter top makes coffee/tea mugs easer to use instead of storing them in over the counter kitchen cabinets that might be too hard to reach now
Counter Top Mug Tree
Hands free! No need to exert energy or fear cuts :) Battery operated
Auto Electric Can Opener
Keep granny safe from herself w/ an electric kettle instead of a stove top pot. Key point: it turns off by it's self when it's done boiling so no chance of burning the house down haha
Electric Water Kettle With Overheat Protection
Make your elder feel self reliant w/ an easy grip kitchen knife
Ergonomic Soft Grip Knife Set
Have the ability to keep storable daily provisions on the counter top is imperative. This one is pricy but it's stainless steel so every part of it is cleanable + the roll top is fab
Roll Top Medium Matte Steel Bread Box
No more guessing if a pill was taken or not ;)
Weekly 7-Day AM & PM Pill Planner Case
Bathroom Assists
It seems easy forever but at at some point, it's not. Elders take help WHEREVER haha they can get it :)
Seniors struggle with accessibility in all areas but especially in the bathroom. This rudimentary bidet has it figured out! I'm not joking when I say it changed my Grandparents lives.
