Below is a list of useful
technological innovations that are senior-friendly:
Sonic
Boom alarm clock with bed shaker. About $70.
The heaviest sleepers will have no trouble waking up when they feel a pulsating
alarm or bed vibrations from the shaker, which slips in under a mattress or
pillow. It also features an adjustable LED display with large, bright green
numbers. (Great for teenagers, too!).
Serene
Innovations HD-40P High Definition Amplified Photo Phone. About $70. Dial up to nine people by touching their
photo, which is displayed on the phone. The ringer is extra loud, and incoming
sound is amplified as well. It’s hearing aid compatible and has front and side
visual ring flashers.
Lutron
Maestro motion sensor switch (2-pack). About $40.
Older adults will appreciate sensors that turn the lights on when they enter a
room, and shut them off when they leave. Prevent falls by making sure areas are
lit when your family member is moving through the house. These motion sensor
switches feature reliable performance up to 30 feet and programmable time out.
The switches work with any bulb type.
Hamilton
Beach electric jar opener. About $35.
Have you ever struggled to open a jar? It may be due to arthritis, declining
strength or just a stubborn seal. From spaghetti sauce to pickles, it’s
frustrating to be able to see exactly what you want to eat but not get it out!
Fix that problem with an electric jar opener that does the job with the press
of a button.
RainBowl motion sensor
toilet night light. About $13. If nature calls in the middle of the night, the
last thing you want is to turn on the bathroom light and get blinded and fully
awakened at the same time. Solve the problem with this sensor night light that
fits on any toilet and comes with a lifetime warranty.
