Hi All, This is not exactly a gadget, but my Mom has thoroughly enjoyed the Side Plate for Deluxe Over Bed Table (http://www.enablemart.com/Catalog/Healthcare-Furniture/Side-Plate-for-Deluxe-Over-Bed-Table). She suffered a recent hip fracture, and has been in bed recuperating. She loves to read, and because of the medications she is taking - she is constantly thirsty. We keep water or juice with her all the time. She was spilling both, but when we found this table, whew...did it make a difference!!! This is a split table that allows one section to stay horizontal while the other can be tilted to several positions to make reading easier. Hey, anything that makes Mom's life easier now is a lifesaver! If you have a parent that is bed-ridden, or likes to read in bed - this could be the answer for you as well! Check it out!

These are all useful things for improving the care of our great seniors! Our company manufactures a 2-Way key finder that has been used by many seniors and caregivers as a memory aid for conditions such as Alzheimers. See http://www.FindOneFindAll.com DavidM

I have a neighbor that lives in a apartment in our 4 plex. He has no phone. I needed to find something that he could use to alert me incase he had problems. i contacted many companies explaining my problem. They had many answers that cost in the hundred of dollars. It hit me that a wireless doorbell would work. I bought one for $10.00. I mounted the receiver in my apartment and gave him the button to push if he needed me. It works great and gives us both piece of mind. He carries the button in his pocket. It has a range of about 150 feet. Even if you have someone living with you, this would be a good addition.

This websit is just what I needed. I highly recommend this site. I parents who are 88 and 89 and absolutely do not want to leave their home. Some of these things could help. Thanks to American profile, a newpaper magazine, with the website listed in one of their articles. Thanks again.

In conjunction with these items, I've also come across another website, http://www.enablemart.com/Catalog/Assistive-Living, that provides some great resources as well. Thought readers might like to add a few more options to their list!

Although at first I thought it sounded a little HAL-ish, I have to say, these are really brilliant. Folks have considered what the need is and met it.

These gadgets are amazing... they address so many concerns and issues with elderly living on their own, and would be extremely helpful if they fit your budget.
