Once again, gift-giving season is rapidly approaching. The biggest sales days of the year are just after Thanksgiving and one of the best ways to take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is to have your gift list ready to go.
If there is an aging adult on your gift list, we have some fun, stylish and useful gift ideas for you. While we have included links of the products for informational purposes, you should always shop around to find the best price available.
DORO-319 MemoryPlus Amplified Photo Phone – With extra large buttons, amplified sound and four speed dial buttons that you can personalize with photos, the corded telephone is specially designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss, limited dexterity or cognitive impairments. The device also features HAC – Hearing Aid Compatibility, so help your loved ones communicate and stay connected.
Standers Assist-A-Tray – The handy tray serves double duty as it provides a flat surface for eating, working or storing items as well as offering extra support when you swing the tray away and grip the handle to help you get up from your favorite chair or sofa. Watch their video to see how the simple multi-use swivel tray can help prevent falls due to loss of balance or injury.
Touch on, touch off lamps – Make life safer and easier with the gift of light. If you know someone who suffers from arthritis or Parkinson’s Disease, you know how difficult it can be to perform simple tasks that require hand strength and finger coordination, including turning a light switch. Now you can convert almost any lamp into a touch-controlled light by installing a simple device, such as the Westek plug-in light control sold at Home Depot. There are also numerous lamps that already feature touch sensitive controls, such as this sleek and stylish lamp available at Uncommon Goods.
Just remember, making time to share a meal, go for an outing, helping with chores or just dropping by for a visit with your elderly family member is the best gift of all!
