When you have a senior citizen (or more) at home, it becomes imperative that you make an extra effort to ensure that their daily needs are taken care of. With aging comes a natural decline in physical and mental abilities, so it is essential that senior citizens feel at ease and at home.
The terms ‘senior home care services’ or ‘home care services for the elderly’ are words very commonly used in western counterparts, but the trend is catching up here in India. If you are amongst those who have parents or grandparents living at home or in a separate residence, you might want to consider equipping them with certain gadgets, devices, appliances and support aids that can help them do their daily tasks independently.
Here is a quick look at some varied products that are designed to make lives easier for the elderly and those who require additional assistance on an everyday basis.
1. Bathroom and Toilet Essentials
The bathroom is an area where every individual likes to have their own space, peace of mind and independence. Seniors, physically disabled people and individuals with mobility issues need a bit of extra support when it comes to answering nature’s call or taking a nice, warm shower. It could just be a case of needing something to hold onto while getting up or being uncomfortable using a traditional Indian toilet because of knee problems. In such cases, there is a wide range of bathroom and toilet support products that serve the purpose and allow seniors to continue doing their daily routines in a hassle-free manner.
Here are a few examples:
- Luna Shower Chair M406 - Mobilita
2. Bedroom Essentials
3. Mobility Support
From walkers to rollators and from canes to wheelchairs, the options available are plenty, but the kind of mobility aid that a specific individual should use would largely depend on various factors. For instance, the needs of a person with a lower-body disability would be totally different from someone who just needs a little bit of support while walking. Whichever is the case, it is important to understand that individual mobility is vital to make an individual feel independent and the mobility support equipment allows you to empower to move around with ease.
- Elbow Crutch with Folding Handle
- Wheelchair with Writing Board
- Reclining Wheelchair with Elevated Footrest
Remember, home care services for the elderly are not restricted to hiring a nurse or full-time help to assist them. Certain products and accessories can well and truly enable them to do mundane tasks with utmost ease and peace of mind. There is a vast collection of senior aides and home care products apart from the bathroom essentials, bed supports and walking supports for the elderly mentioned above.
