While
shoppers make their lists and check them twice, we’ve been busy researching
products that meet our high standards for this year’s gift giving season.
At the start
of each holiday season, we look for gifts for seniors that meet our criteria:
They must be safe and easy to use even with limited mobility or dexterity, help
a loved one live life with normalcy and dignity, and made from high-quality
materials that last. Here is this
year’s holiday gift-giving ideas:
 |
| Assist-A-Tray by Stander |
Aging-in-Place
Tools
Product
innovations make it possible for many seniors to stay in their homes longer.
For the hearing impaired, amplified telephones and visual doorbells make great
gifts. The visually challenged may appreciate a big-button telephone,
large-face clock or a large-button universal remote. Mobility tools make aging in place safer and easier. Stander makes mobility aids for every room in the home, including easy-install security poles and grab bars, a 2-in-1 activity tray and mobility handle called Assist-A-Tray, and bed rails that double as security handles.
Fresh Meal
Service
 |
| Mom's Meals uses fresh ingredients. |
A convenient
way to eat healthy, Mom’s Meals provides freshly prepared meals to a loved
one’s doorstep. Many of America’s seniors are threatened by hunger because of
financial limitations, limited mobility, physical factors that make eating
difficult or food unappealing, depression and other factors. Mom’s Meals offers
special dietary choices, including meals low in sodium, fat or carbohydrates.
Foot
Pampering System
 |
| The FootMate™ system |
The FootMate™
system offers the benefits of a soothing massage while helping seniors take
better care of their feet. It secures to a shower floor and features bristles
that clean, massage and stimulate circulation. It’s ideal for those with
diabetes, arthritis, back pain — even for caregivers or anyone on their feet
all day. For a limited time, we’re including a free 8 oz. bottle of
rejuvenating gel with every purchase of a FootMate™ system.
Skin Care
When winter
causes dry skin, products that cleanse, moisturize, and protect can be the
difference between healthy skin and irritation and infection. Consumers now can
buy medical-grade products without the side effects that can go along with
prescription drugs. The TriDerma line is made to heal dry skin, rashes, eczema,
psoriasis, ulcers and facial redness using natural ingredients that are more
effective than many over-the-counter, water-based formulas but will not
interact with medications.
Premium
Quality Products
Seniors
managing incontinence are likely to love the gift of normalcy and dignity.
Premium quality absorbent products like Depend Silhouette for Women or Depend
Real Fit for Men are a step up from regular adult diapers. They’re designed to
look, fit and feel like regular underwear, but their clothlike fabric is
discreet under clothing and comfortable during activities.
Special
Services
Cold winter
temperatures and icy conditions are dangerous for the elderly. Your loved one
may appreciate the gift of services, such as a snow removal or lawn care,
in-home barbering or hair dressing, or dog walking or grooming. For seniors who
need non-medical, in-home care, The CareGiver Partnership recommends Visiting
Angels, a national, private duty network of home care agencies.
