safety products

As adults age, once simple tasks like sitting, standing, and walking can become more challenging, leading to a reduction in physical activity.  Older adults should participate in safe and effective moderate physical activities to achieve an improved quality of life.   Sadly, one-third of adults over the age of 50 lack physical activity in their daily lives. ¹   Older adults living a sedentary lifestyle have reduced strength and balance which increases risk of falling².  Senior adults, age 65 and older, are at high risk for falls with one out of three seniors falling each year.³   Daily living aids are helpful tools that will keep you safe and moving independently.   AllegroMedical.com presents five daily living aids to help you increase physical activity safely.

Aids to Daily Living (ADLs) or Daily Living Aids are assistive products and gadgets that promote a more independent lifestyle for those with physical limitations.

Out of town guests for the holidays?  Face it, the last thing you need to worry about while entertaining is your niece sticking her barrette in the light socket, or the neighbor's kid falling down the stairs or your boss's little cutie pulling the bookshelf over on top of herself.  Ahhhh....

Holiday cheer can become a holiday nightmare if you are ill-prepared for the needs of your overnight guests.
