Products to make home life easier for senior care in Hot Springs, AR

Visiting Angels Provides Senior Care in Conway, Cabot, Greenbrier, Vilonia, and the Surrounding Areas

Simple tasks such as bathing, dressing, or making meals may become more difficult for seniors as they age, impacting their mood. There are several items available to help seniors continue to be independent and maintain their routines. Visiting Angels of Hot Springs, AR, and surrounding areas recommend these items to make senior care easier for them and their families. 

• Senior Friendly Products 
• Grabbers and grippers
• Seniors can use grip aids to help seniors grab onto small objects, particularly for those who have conditions causing a weakened grip. They come in different shapes and sizes to meet different needs. 
• Long-handle grippers can help reach objects far away or high up on a shelf, for example. A small button is pushed to activate it, controlling the gripping mechanism at the end. 
• Use a dressing stick to slide on a jacket or sweater, for example. A senior care professional can help the client learn how to use this device independently. 
• Those with limited mobility can use a brush or comb with a long handle to comb their hair. 
• Use devices recommended by in-home senior care professionals to help with sometimes difficult tasks of bending down to put on or take off socks. 
• A long-handle shoehorn can help put on shoes without bending down. 

Seniors can also receive assistance in buttoning a jacket by using a pulley attached to it. 

Bathroom assistance devices

• Maintain bathroom privacy and independence by installing and teaching seniors how to use a toilet tissue grip or long handle. 
• Similarly, handles around the bathroom, shower, bedside, and other similar areas can help seniors maintain balance, reduce fall risk and improve mobility while doing their daily activities. 
• Scrub hard-to-reach places with a sponge on a long arm while bathing.
