My hope is that these Guides help support your journey with caregiving and your aging parent. I have linked all of the items below their respective image but keep in mind, you might be able to find some of these devices at a thrift shop or second hand at a nursing home/independent living community that can help you save money.
-
Mobility Scooter
-
Standing Assist. Perfect for the beach or gardening.
-
Portable grab bars
-
Bed Assist Rail

Rollator. This is not a walker but a walker on wheels with brakes, a small seat and a place for items.<

Sink topper. Perfect for small spaces to help reduce frustration and dropping items. Use a towel over as well for small items like earrings.

-
Pill organizer
-
Chair speakers. Wireless speakers for the hearing impaired.

Pill splitter. An essential tool if you need to ween a parent off of a medication or a temporary medication. Although I tried to split pills by hand or with a knife, it was nearly impossible.
