When it comes to buying gifts for seniors it can be hard to find gifts that seniors will use often and enjoy. Many seniors enjoy getting practical gifts that they will be able to use to make their lives easier. But a practical gift can also be luxurious. When you’re shopping for a senior parent try to find gifts that provide some type of comfort or luxury that your senior parent wouldn’t normally get for themselves. Gifts like these are ideal for seniors because they are very practical but also provide a touch of comfort and luxury that seniors wouldn’t normally try to get for themselves. Your senior loved one will enjoy gifts like:

Foot Spa

Seniors often have trouble taking care of their feet, especially seniors with diabetes. Many go to medispas for pedicures or for therapeutic foot soaks that will increase circulation and promote healthy skin on the feet and the ankles. But seniors can get the benefits of a medispa visit at home with a high end foot spa. A foot spa allows seniors to spoil themselves at home without having to go out in to the cold to get a soothing foot soak and enjoy a whirlpool bath for their feet. If your senior loved one has elder care their care provider can help them safely fill and use the foot spa. 

Personal Care At Home

Personal care at home is a wonderfully luxurious gift for seniors. With personal care at home seniors get the benefit of having an experienced and well-trained care provider come in to help seniors with things like showering, getting dressed, cleaning up, shaving, or just getting and out of bed each day. Personal care at home is a fantastic gift for seniors who have been struggling to take care of themselves but are hesitant to ask for help. And because the people who provide personal care for seniors have experience with a wide variety of people they can provide safe and effective assistance for any senior. 

Towel Warmer

It’s very common for seniors to get chilled as they get out of the shower or bath. One of the most common complaints that seniors have about showring during the fall and winter is that it’s cold when they get out. And seniors can catch a chill or get sick from being exposed to the cold after a hot shower or bath. But a towel warmer will ensure that the towels they reach for after their bath or shower are warm and toasty. It’s a game changer for seniors to be able to wrap up in warm towels after getting out of the bath or shower. 

Cordless Heated Bath Mat

Cold bathroom floors on bare feet are also pretty unpleasant. But you can fix that by gifting your senior parent a cordless heated bath mat. There are not cords to trip on, and the mat is heated so that when seniors step on it their feet will instantly be warm and cozy.

Founder at Heart of the Carolinas

Edward Harrison founded the Heart of the Carolinas Homecare in 2007 when he saw there was a need for caregivers that provide non-medical home care services, at a price that most people could afford. It was standard in the industry to require hourly minimums and it was common to be assigned a caregiver, not matched with one based on your individual personal needs. Edward understood that to make a successful relationship between caregiver and client, skills were not enough, personality and compatibility plays as much a role as do skills.
