If you have an elderly loved one who needs a mobility aid, the holiday season is the perfect opportunity to give them a present that will make their daily life easier. Since mobility is the most common disability among seniors, there’s an abundance of accessories and tools available on the market. Here’s a helpful list of a few gift ideas to get you started.

3 Presents for Loved Ones With Mobility Troubles

1. Mobility Devices

Certain tasks, like getting up to go to the kitchen, are challenging for people with mobility issues. Get your loved one a power lift recliner to simplify their daily life. Power lift recliners are designed to be a functional and fashionable part of your home décor while providing for elderly individuals or adults who need stand-assistance.

2. Assistance Tools

Taking care of household chores is trickier for seniors who require mobility aids. Even simple accessories, like a grabber arm, can be useful when reaching for cleaning supplies, which are usually tucked away in closets and cupboards. You can also give them door opening helpers if it is hard for them to grip the handle..

3. Bathroom Safety Equipment

Slips and falls are a major cause of injury among older individuals, and people with limited mobility are more prone to these accidents. This holiday season, upgrade your loved one’s bathroom to ensure their comfort and safety. A sturdy bath bench or shower seat lets them bathe without worrying about slipping on slick surfaces. Grab bars near the toilet will provide them with extra stability when they sit and stand. You can also give them motion-activated lights to accommodate sleepy, late-night bathroom visits.
