Independent living aids make great gifts for grandparents


Perhaps the most precious gift you can give a grandparent is the simple gesture of spending time with them. There is nothing more wonderful then spending a few hours listening to fascinating stories while drinking tea, baking cookies or watching a movie with a loved one.  As lovely as this sounds, this can not always be possible. So if you are waiting for the holidays to come around to share beautiful moments like these, why not consider one of these independent living aids to send as a gift to let them know you are thinking of them.
Here are just a few favorite independent living aids that will make life so much sweeter for your loved ones.
  • For the exercise enthusiast or nature lover, an adult three wheel bicycle is the perfect solution whether you are enjoying the weather or racing your grandkids. They are safe, sturdy and secure. They even have a cargo basket so you can pack a picnic or get the mail with ease. 
  • Non slip bean bag dinner trays are lightweight form fitting making them essential for folks who want to enjoy a movie with their dinner, finish a crossword or two, write letters and maybe even have breakfast in bed.
  • Fishing is a relaxing hobby, but some times it can be exhausting to have to hold the fishing pole for a long time and some times it may not be possible. Fishing pole holders can be attached to wheelchairs, benches, and lawn chairs. When fishing with a fishing pole holder, all you have to do is reel in the bounty!
  • Playing card holders make playing cards even more fun by taking away the hassle of having cards fall off the table. They make it easier for individuals with grasping issues to enjoy their favorite game.
  • Weighted insulated mugs are great independent living aids for individuals living with Parkinson's or other disorders that may cause tremors. The mug weighs 10 ounces empty and holds 12 fluid ounces.
  • Treat your loved one to some much needed pampering with a nail plus set which is ideal for diabetics and can be used with either natural or acrylic nails.
  • Soft Fit Knit home care sheets will make your bed feel like paradise. They are designed to be soft and non-abrasive even to the most sensitive skin.
  • Tenura Silicone Jar openers and Tenura Silicone Bottle openers are your knight in shining armor even against the toughest of lids. The flexible dome shape allows for more leverage while angled ridges allow for a non-slip grip ensuring victory.
  • bowl with a handle is a useful everyday product for someone who is less sure of their grip.
