As we get older some smaller things in life can turn into ordeals, even something as simple as holding cards during a game can be a hassle. A person should never have to lose their hobbies due to the aging process and these items are meant to help you keep going. Here are a few items designed to make the aging process a little more graceful. All of these products can be found online at www.ActiveForever.com
A Handybar is a device that hooks into the door of most cars to give you a handle for extra support when exiting a car. In addition to that, the Handybar also has a built-in seat belt cutter and side window breaker in case of emergency. The Handybar is great for people who are recovering from surgery or even those who just need an extra boost from time to time. The Handybar works with most cars, trucks and SUVs, and requires no modification to your vehicle; it can even be used on either side of the car.
Recommended by AARP for elderly drivers and passengers, a Swivel Seat Cushion is another great item for use in the car. These round seat cushions can rotate 360 degrees to help with getting in and out of virtually any car. Simply place the Seat Cushion on your seat, sit down, and swivel your feet right into the car! This padded seat cushion is completely portable and is equipped with a removable velour cover for easy cleaning. The bottom of the seat cushion is made of a non-slip material to prevent the cushion from sliding around on your seat. This means you remain in your seat until you choose to swivel and exit the vehicle.
While walkers and wheelchairs are great for what they do, you don’t always have a free hand while using one; universal cup holders aim to alleviate some of that problem. Without the use of any tools, these cup holders can be mounted to almost any mobility aid quickly and easily. Universal Cup holders are generally big enough to hold most standard cup sizes and some of them are even designed with a cutout for cups with handles on them.
Available in a few different styles, a playing card holder lets you get back into the game without putting additional strain on your wrists. The natural way of holding cards can put a strain on your wrists which is even worse when coupled with arthritis pains. Playing card holders allow you to hold and organize your cards without slowing down the game. Card holders can generally hold about five to fifteen cards, depending on they style chosen.
Another simple task that can become tedious later in life is using scissors. The Fiskar Softouch Spring Action Scissors gently open themselves after each cut alleviating some of the stress put on the hand. These scissors can be used just like regular scissors and have a soft non-slip handle which allows for total control and ease of use. These scissors are heavy-duty and can be used to cut both light and heavy materials in the home or office.
