Making simple adjustments can make a big difference. Products like large digital displays and giant-faced clocks as well as talking watches, makes telling the time easier.
For those who need a little extra help with managing medication, there are several products that help to make this simpler to do. Easy to use Pill Poppers takes away the need to fiddle with blister packs and drop medication.
There are also the tablet cutters and grinders which make taking medication more manageable. Wallets and Trays are also available which help you to organise and plan tablets for week. Pill Boxes that vibrate or emit an alarm at set times can also remind a person to take medication.
Monitors that alert a carer when a person leaves a chair, bed or room help prevent a person wandering off. Similar products which monitor when someone falls down are also available which are easy to use for both user and carer.
Using Telephones help to keep in touch with loved ones. It is now even easier to do so with telephones that feature large buttons and display screens. Phone numbers can also be programmed to speed dial family and friends. Several phones have this option, as well as the ability to add photographs to the speed dial making it easier to recognise and ring someone.
