Electric Mobility Scooters

When your loved ones become old and a little rusty in functionality, it’s in their best interest to purchase the tools necessary to ensure their safety. Walkers and canes are popular walking aids for the elderly and are easy to find just about anywhere. Moist adult wipes are another easy-to-find option that can save everyone the fuss of a messy cleanup. And Velcro shoes will save you minutes daily when it comes to helping your grandma or grandpa get in and out of their shoes.

But let’s not forget the slippery slope of self cleansing. For most people in the later portion of their elderly lives, this is a two-person job. Getting in and out of a bathtub or trying to maintain balance in a wet shower stall can be challenging and dangerous for the elderly. Shower chairs are a must have in any household that has a grandma or grandpa. Your loved one will be safe and secure as they are perched on a shower chair. Not to mention it’s a heck of a lot easier to reach all of their appendages waiting to be cleaned.

When my grandma, Yia Yia as we called her due to her Greek heritage, became ill it changed everyone’s lives in our family. She became immobile and fragile almost over night due to what the doctors told us was Alzheimer’s disease. A mournful realization we all underwent that day, we made a pact to provide her with the best care and the best tools to keep her active longer. After a few hours of detailed research, we were able to make a list of things we could buy her to prolong her mental awareness and safety.

Already at the fragile age of 72, grandma had trouble walking because her feet had become so swollen. One of the items at the top of our list was an electric wheelchair. Comfy and compact in design, it became a lifesaver when we would run errands. It also ended up saving everyone a little bit of energy at the end of the day because no one had to push her. It became a tool of comfort to her, like a child’s blanket it was there to protect her.

These are not your typical wheelchairs! Karman has a new, sleek design with a cool flare. Shaped for comfort the ergonomic design is actually considered “intelligent” because of it’s S-shaped, contoured seating. This special seat relieves pressure on the buttocks while stabilizing, as it prevents you from sliding foward. What’s even more incredible is the removable AEGIS Microbe Shield upholstery; which comes standard with S-Ergo models. The unique anti-biotic technology is also stain and odor resistant.  This new wave lightweight wheelchair is all the rave in the assistive device department. It may be time to trade in your “clunker” of a wheelchair for this upgraded model!
