Independent living aids for the kitchen

As a person ages, it becomes more difficult and sometimes painful for them to do the things they have done their whole lives. The kitchen is an area where many feel they become very challenged as they get older. If you are a person who is finding it harder to make your way around the kitchen, or you are the concerned child or loved one of an aging person, then you should check out the following independent living aids for the kitchen:

Eye Vac Automatic Vacuum

The Eye Vac automatic vacuum allows you to sweep the kitchen without worrying about needing to bend over to pick up the debris. Infrared technology is used to activate the vacuum when debris is in need of vacuuming and the vacuum will turn off automatically once the debris has been collected. This product makes cleaning the kitchen much easier.

Easy Cling Wrap Cutter

Arthritis sufferers can find it extremely difficult to fight with cling wrap. The Easy Cling Wrap Cutter is one of the greatest independent living aids because it makes cutting that cling wrap extremely easy. The cutter attaches easily to the box of cling wrap and you can slide the cutter easily through the cling wrap once you pull out the desired amount.

MaddaGrip Jar Opener

As a person ages those jar lids get tougher and tougher to open. The MaddaGrip Jar Opener adds the necessary amount of grip to make it extremely easy to get even those stubborn jars open. The outside of the opener is textured and it has a longer shape to it which makes it great for those with weaker hands.

One Handed Cutting Board with knife

Someone who has challenges with arthritis or weakness in one hand as a result of a stroke will find a one handed cutting board extremely useful.  There are a variety of cutting boards designed to be used with one hand, but one favorite board comes with a knife, spikes and corner guards.  Even with only one good hand it is perfect for safely cutting, chopping, grating, peeling and making sandwiches.
