Great products to help you, help your aging parents

At various times of the year, many of us are on the lookout for meaningful and helpful gifts for our elderly loved ones. I’ve put together an article featuring 4 products that I believe are particularly worth considering:

These are just some of the products and resources that my clients have access to, aiming to make their caregiving journey a bit easier.

“4 Helpful Products for Older Adults & Caregivers”

Jelly Drops: Can’t get your aging parent to drink water? These Jelly Drops entice older folks to eat them and this helps their water intake.

Amazon Echo Show: I should list this as number one because I love this device for communicating with my mom every day.  We get to see each other on screen and she gets to play music, turn her television on and off, it tells her jokes and she enjoys the pictures I load onto it as a slideshow.

Joy for All: This is another product that I absolutely love and so does mom. After mom’s beloved cat passed away, my husband found this brand and purchased a ‘robot cat’ for mom. She loves it and best of all, she does not have to clean up the kitty litter!

    Medisafe Medication Reminder – this is a product that I haven’t used but think should be mentioned. It’s actually an app that you can download that reminds you to take your medication. By the looks of it, it’s free.

    While these suggestions cater to older adults in general, some are also useful for you. Win-win!

    Let us know in the comments, which is your favorite? If you have a favorite product, please share that in the comments as well!

    Wishing you and your loved ones a meaningful, joyful year full of celebrations!
