Home Appliances that Promote Senior Safety and Accessibility

"I can't begin to say how much Visiting Angels has made an impact on my family's life. When searching for home care for my mother we didn't know where to begin. From my first conversation with Buteau till my mom passed away 5years later my mother received top-notch care, wonderful company, loving friendship, and professional handling of all kinds of emergencies. I would recommend them very highly to anyone who is looking to care for a loved one."

Safe Cooking Appliances for Seniors

There are a multitude of gadgets for seniors who want to remain independent and cook their own meals. These safe appliances for seniors make cooking a breeze while also helping to prevent accidents in the kitchen. Some examples of these devices include:

• “Smart” stoves can provide a safe cooktop for elderly people. These stoves are built with highly visible and easily accessible interfaces and provide warnings when the stove is hot. Countertop dishwashers do the work of a normal dishwasher but do not require the user to bend over while using them.
• Compact countertop microwaves also sit at countertop height and eliminate the need to reach or use a step stool to retrieve things from the microwave.
• Large-display refrigerators have easy-open doors and strong lighting, making them the best refrigerators for seniors with muscle weakness or reduced eyesight.
• Single-serve or auto-shut-off coffeemakers ensure that seniors don’t accidentally leave the coffee maker on, potentially spilling hot coffee or even starting a fire.

Other Household Appliances Help Seniors Remain Safe and Independent

There are many other appliances designed with safety and accessibility in mind, like lightweight vacuums, safe knives for seniors, auto-shutoff irons, phones with large numbers and displays, ice cream scoops for elderly people, lights that are activated by clapping, and more! However, while these appliances are helpful, they should be supplemented by individualized care and attention to help your senior loved one address your loved one’s difficulties around the house. At Visiting Angels of Chelsea, we can provide your loved one with professional non-medical care services in their own home to help them continue to live a life of safety, comfort, and joy!

How Our Caregivers Help Seniors Maintain Independence

Matching Seniors with Qualified Caregivers

We understand that the idea of letting someone come into your home and care for your loved one can be anxiety-inducing–even if that person is a professional caregiver. At Visiting Angels, you and your loved one’s comfort comes first, and we put a special emphasis on client-caregiver relationships. We give our clients the ability to hand-select which of our trained, licensed, and background-checked caregivers they will receive care from, and always offer clients the opportunity to change caregivers if they feel someone else would be a better fit.
