Our Shower Bay portable showers are designed with wheelchair users in mind. In most…

With the holiday season here, it’s easy to get wrapped up in all of the excitement. Most Americans are spending more time in the malls, these days, shopping for gifts for loved ones.

The act of cleaning the house isn’t particularly fun. For most of us, it’s a chore we’d rather do without. However, we all want clean homes. So, cleaning is pretty much a regular necessity. The fact of the matter is that cleaning the house is often strenuous work. And for those who suffer from mobility…

For most caregivers, a strong focus is placed on the physical well-being of their care recipients. Of course, this makes sense. Elderly individuals and people with mobility issues often require assistance with their everyday tasks. Such help is necessary in order to prevent injuries. However, it’s important to note that care recipients require emotional stability…

As caregivers of elderly people know, bath time can be a tough time. As we’ve pointed out in past blogs, many seniors are averse to bathing for many reasons. In some cases, it’s a fear of slipping and falling. Because the bathroom is notorious for being a place where slips and falls occur, many elderly…

There’s no place like home. This isn’t just a cliché or a euphemism exclusive to young folks. It’s practically a mantra for the elderly members of our population. Because those of advanced ages commonly find themselves in assisted living facilities, homesickness is as likely a condition for them as their physical ailments. There are, however,…

Most elderly individuals would much prefer to age in place (another way of saying “live at home”) than at assisted living facilities. The first and most obvious reason is that it allows them to be around their families. Who wouldn’t prefer to wake up every day to their children and grandchildren rather than a constantly…

It’s fair to say that bathing is a daily routine. For the majority of us, taking a shower is part of our every day. So imagine how difficult it would be if you weren’t able to bathe yourself. For many of our elderly loved ones, bathing is a chore. It’s not because they don’t wish…

The tab to the far right of our home page reads “State Resources” Clicking on that new tab will bring you to a page that provides a state by state resource list of both government and non-government organizations and programs that may…

It’s quite troubling to hear references to the elderly that are negative. All too often, snarky remarks about one’s advanced age are made. “Getting old” seems to be one of those things that too many of us frown upon. But how does that make any sense? We all aspire to live long lives, don’t we?…
