There are some things when caring for a Loved One that just make life better, simpler, and become your go-to things. Here are a few of my Favorite Things for caregiving.
Twiddle Sensory Muff
This activity muff is perfect for Mama. I noticed that she was fiddling with her blanket and her fingers quite a bit during the day. I searched for something that could keep her active (she is no longer able to walk) so now she can spend time exploring the many different tactile ornaments, buttons, and zippers on this activity muff.
Re-Play Made in USA 4-pack Straw Cups with Reversible Straws
It is challenging to find cups that are shatter-proof, spill-proof, and easy to grip. Broken glasses, loose lids, accidents with straws led me to search for the perfect cup. I have been very pleased with this cup and it’s wide, bendable straw makes it really easy for Mama to manipulate.
Jersey Weighted Throw Blanket with Removable Cover
Everyone loves a good hug! This weighted blanket gives Mama the feeling of being hugged continuously. It is easy to clean and comes in a lovely pastel color. She always smiles when I cover her with it.
Snuggle-Pedic Memory Foam Pillow with Kool-Flow Bamboo Cover
Without a good night’s sleep, it’s pretty hard to have a good day. I want Mama to have the best day possible, everyday. Because Mama cannot turn herself during the night, it’s essential that her bed and pillow provide her with the best comfort. This bamboo cooling pillow was an amazing purchase and help her get a good night’s rest.
Member’s Mark Power Lift Recliner
This recliner has been a game changer for us. It was increasing difficult to lift Mama from her chair. We wanted to find a comfortable chair for her to sit in and give her the option to nap during the day without having to transfer her to her bed. This reclines to a napping position and raises to a standing position.
