Daily Living Aids
One of the most important ways to outfit a home is with “medicine chest” essentials. While many of us think of first aid supplies and a thermometer as must-haves when there are small children in the house, these daily living aids are vital at every age, particularly for seniors. Putting together a shopping list is not as daunting as you might think, but it pays to review all care needs to be comprehensive. As long as one of the first questions the nurse at the doctor’s office asks when you call is, “Is there a fever?” you need a thermometer—and one with numbers that are easy to read. Bandages and tape, antibiotic ointment and hand sanitizer gels are also givens. But there are many other products that every senior’s home should have within reach so that a minor mishap doesn’t ever turn into a frantic trip to the drugstore. Dental supplies, including toothpaste for sensitive teeth and oral swabs, will prevent dental problems that could lead to an inability to chew properly and, ultimately, malnourishment. Batteries for hearing aids as well as other daily-use devices are “little things” that, if forgotten, can add up to big problems. Cold compresses and moist heat packs as well as a safe heating pad can help ease chronic pain.

Choosing The Best Daily Living Aids
One of the most important ways to stay independent is to have the tools needed to accomplishing daily living activities, or DLAs. These include being able to get dressed, get up and down from a chair, bed or toilet seat and be mobile. Among the many categories of daily living aids, choices from the following can make accomplishing everyday tasks significantly easier:
Arthritis Aids
When arthritis pain affects the joints in your hands, arthritis aids, such as therapeutic gloves and moist heat pads that contour to the shape of stiff joints, will bring relief.
Health & Cleansing Products
From cleansers that making bathing and shampooing easier to antiseptic hand gels, these aids help you see to hygiene needs.
Clothing & Dressing Aids
Make getting dressed easier with clothes and accessories that are easy to slip on, plus tools to help you with zippers, pulls, buttons and more.
Electronic Alerts
Monitoring devices and other electronics make living on your own safer. Medical reminders help you stay consistent with needed medication while emergency devices call for help in a crisis.
Home Blood Pressure Monitors
Being able to monitor high blood pressure helps reduce your risk for heart events. Easier to use and read devices take the guesswork out of health and well-being.
Hot & Cold Pads
Heat and cold therapies are often used for pain relief. Products that can be easily applied deliver soothing help right where you need it.
Massage Therapy
Massage has both physical and emotional benefits. Home massagers, from handheld devices to seat cushions offer all kinds of massage in the comfort of your favorite chair.
Orthopedic Supplies
When your joints need additional support to keep you active, wearing the appropriate brace, wrap, collar and sleeve can cushion and protect injured areas while increasing mobility.
Paraffin Therapy
A paraffin wax bath can nourish skin and help soothe aching joints in hands, feet, even elbows. These professional-style home models let you enjoy paraffin’s soothing benefits on your schedule.
Thermometers
When you’re not feeling well, the first question a doctor might ask is if you’re running a fever. Easy-to-read digital thermometers, some with a large readout or a voice that speaks the results, get you the answer fast.
Utensils and Dinnerware
We take eating and drinking for granted, but when our hands aren’t as flexible as they used to be, specialty utensils and tableware can help.
