Assisted Living Devices for Elderly People in Your Life

It is tough, getting old, they say. The slow deterioration of our bodies leads to the need for devices that will help us get around easier, safer and altogether freer. At Ablemart, we do that by providing assisted living devices for elderly people in Harrisburg and beyond throughout the United States. Browse our store online. We carry anything and everything that you and yours could possibly need to help our loved ones live independently and with less fear of falling or injury.

One set of assisted living devices for elderly people that we provide are walkers and similar items. These products can help eliminate an entire set of worries for you and loved ones. Our gait and our ability to ambulate without help slow as we age. Many decades of wear and tear on our joints combine to often make things a little shaky. In such cases, obvious support is needed.

A great deal of enhancement has occurred in the realms of the walker over time. Going through a redesign not dissimilar to that of the stroller, the old and boxy walker calling for tennis balls at the base is no longer needed as a sportier breed of walker with big rubber wheels has taken over. Rubber wheels are stationary in the back, with a front pair that hang loose and move in the direction your momentum takes them. The bells and whistles come in the form of a much more ergonomic design, better braking system and all-around better walker using experience.

Walking is a very underappreciated form of exercise that allows a way for you to keep going, without major risk of overexertion. The use of a walker from the Nordic Walker line provides the proper amount of resistance to allow for ease of movement as well as providing some exercise, especially when compared to normal walking without the aid of assisted living devices for elderly folks. Keeping that ideal weight or just achieving a proper level of exercise as we age can easily be met by using one of these walkers. The advanced mobility that a walker of this sort offers ensures the ability to maneuver in and out of obstacles, even as they emerge out of nowhere—the walker will adjust to your movements.

At AbleMart, we sell many assisted living devices for elderly people in Harrisburg and points beyond, allowing your loved one to live independently. Please Browse Our Site to see all we have to offer. If you have additional questions, feel free to give us a call at 844-346-2253 or you can Contact Us.

Home Safety Products Help You Grab, Reach and Open Anything You Need

As one ages, physical difficulties increase. You do not get around as easily as you used to. Going up and down the steps becomes a chore. Even getting out of bed, toileting or taking a shower—simple tasks become nuisances. What once was not even thought of in the context of planning now has to be plotted out or assisted on some level.

With the heightened challenge of the mundane comes the need to take precautions against falling and injury. If you are looking for home safety products, look no further than Ablemart. Our company is dedicated to creating solutions for independent living for your aging loved ones. One of the ways we ensure a safer home is through the line of grabbers, reachers and openers we carry: home safety products with your loved ones well-being in mind.   

Grabbers, reachers and openers help minimize falls and risks of injuries and help make life just a little bit easier for your loved one:

Grabbers, Reachers & Openers - many of these items are blends of one another (for example a grabber can also be a reacher, because as you reach for the item, it must also be grabbed).

Grabbers - Usually an extension and/or part of a “Reacher,” these products pick up items that you are trying to reach and therefore grab. From claw style to magnetized, anything you want to grab can be snatched up off of the floor, the shelf or the entertainment center. Even if an item is within reach, the grabbing qualities can make grasping the items significantly easier for those suffering from arthritis, joint issues, missing digits and the like.

Openers - a challenge for even the most powerful, youthful sorts, jar and can opening is made significantly easier by a broad range of opening products on the market. We carry jar openers that mount on the underside of a cabinet to handheld varieties. Openers of all sorts and types are available to make life easier for your loved one.

Reachers - If your loved one’s mobility is limited, getting those hard to reach items in the kitchen cabinets or on top of the fridge can be difficult. We carry a wide range of grabbers to make these tasks a lot easier, many extending up to nearly four feet in length.

How to Improve Safety with Bathroom Safety Products

One of the most dangerous rooms in a house is, surprisingly, your bathroom. Think about it: water mixes with soap on the floor and causes a slipping hazard, getting in and out of the tub can be dangerous because of the potential of falling and even getting on and off of the toilet can present a risk for someone with balance, grip and mobility issues. You can help improve the safety of a bathroom with bathroom safety products for your Philadelphia home. Here are a few other ways to improve bathroom safety.

If there are any throw rugs on the floor, consider removing them. Rugs could cause your loved one to slip and fall, especially if they catch a foot underneath the corner. If rugs are an absolute necessity, you can get double-sided tape and tape them to the floor that way, or you can find slip-resistant backings for the rugs.

We sell bathroom safety products like grab bars that help people get in and out of the shower. These grab bars come in a variety of styles, so it is easy to find ones that will blend into your bathroom’s décor and will not stick out like a sore thumb! Non-slip treads can also be found in the bathroom safety products section of our website, and these treads can be put into the tub so your loved one is less likely to slip while getting in and out of it.

After a shower or bath, be sure your loved one’s bathroom floor is dry. This is yet another way to help prevent slips and falls. This is a good reason to keep throw rugs on the floor, but keep our previously mentioned safety tips in mind for them. Make sure they can’t move around – otherwise they might do more harm than good.

You should also check out the lighting situation in the bathroom. You can purchase nightlights, which are great bathroom safety products for use during the night time. Let’s say your loved one needs to go to the bathroom and it’s dark out and they don’t want to turn on an overhead light. A nightlight will illuminate the bathroom well enough for your loved one to see where they are going.

Bathroom Safety Products Can Help Prevent Accidents and Injuries

According to the National Institute on Aging, 80% of the falls that seniors age 65 years old and older experience are in the bathroom. The bathroom can seem like it is a safe room in your home, but it is full of hazards and dangers. So in order to make your bathroom a safer place to be, AbleMart sells a variety of bathroom safety products for Harrisburg homes. 

Bathroom safety products can make your tub, shower, toilet and bathroom floor safer. There are a variety of these products available for sale at our website. In the meantime, here are a few interesting statistics on bathroom safety and how bathroom safety products can help.

Every year, about 235,000 people slip and fall in the bathroom and injure themselves, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Bathroom safety products like shower and commode chairs, grab bars, non-slip treads and more can help decrease the risk of falling and sustaining an injury.

Did you know that women are more likely to slip and fall in the bathroom than men? There are a few theories as to why this is the case. For one thing, women tend to have less lower body strength than men, and women tend to be a bit less physically active than men. Plus, women tend to have a lower bone mass than men, especially as they age. One of the biggest problems people can experience in the bathroom is getting safely in and out of the tub or safely on and off of the toilet. Bathroom safety products like grab bars and shower and commode chairs can help with this and can help decrease the chance of slipping and falling.

Two-thirds of bathroom injuries occur while the person is in the shower or tub. So this means that a shower or bathroom chair and non-slip bathtub treads can be a huge help. These are a few of our most popular bathroom safety products, and we have several different kinds that will match your bathroom’s décor and not detract from its aesthetics.

Also, getting injured while getting on and off of the toilet is a problem too. Bathroom safety products like grab bars can help with this. And they can be installed quite easily, which means no need for any major renovation work.

Safety Tips for the Toilet

For the elderly or disabled, going to the bathroom can be tricky sometimes. AbleMart sells independent living products that make going to the toilet safer and easier. Toilet safety is a big issue, so here are a few suggestions on how to make going to the bathroom as risk free as possible.

1. Your water heater should be set to about 120 degrees F. Warm water will still be available but it is not so hot that it could burn or scald you, especially if you have sensitivity issues due to medical conditions or medications.

2. Make sure a loved one or caregiver is nearby when you go to the bathroom. If you want to lock the door, make sure it can be easily unlocked from the outside too, just in case you fall or if you need assistance. 

3. We carry many different toilet safety devices, like non-slip rugs, grab bars, commode chairs, shower seats, organizers and more. These toilet safety products can help make going to the bathroom and taking care of hygiene necessities easier on you.

4. Your bathroom should have plenty of light so it is easy for you to see and get around. You can also buy a motion-sensor nightlight so you don't have to turn on a bright overhead light when you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. That way, you can still see what you are doing, but you don't have to turn on a bright light.

5. The items you use the most should be kept within easy reach so you don't have to dig too much to find what you need. Plus, keeping them close at hand means you don't have to reach for them. 

6. A raised commode chair and non-slip rugs can really help improve the safety of your bathroom. Definitely consider these two items when you are looking for products to help improve the toilet safety at your home.
