New Jersey seniors are learning that combining the right medical equipment with good quality home care services can be a winning combination for allowing seniors to live happy, comfortable and safe while remaining in their own homes.
With the rising tide of seniors aging in place and in-home care demands, there has also been an increase in the number of supplies available to help those seniors stay comfortably in their homes. In addition to enlisting the help of home care services, many seniors are able to improve their quality of life with the addition of these new equipment items. While lift chairs, raised toilet seats and stair lift chairs have been available for years, new items have hit the market. You can now purchase electric pill dispensers which talk to the seniors, reminding them to take their medications and then dispensing it at the correct time and in the correct dose. Also available are telephones with large, easy to read numbers, bath chairs that can actually lower and raise themselves, electric bottle openers, and lights which automatically come on and off.
In addition to the new equipment available, houses can be renovated by making showers "senior safe", with grab bars and a conversion to walk in showers, making entering and exiting safe. For many seniors, these renovations may be covered under certain grants and government programs. One such program is the Veterans Association's Aid & Attendance Program, which can assist eligible seniors with the cost of renovations as well as financial assistance to pay for daily home care.
The bottom line for many is that having in-home care is a valuable service and when it's combined with appropriate safety equipment you are creating the perfect environment to age in place.
