Adaptive tools allow older adults to maintain their sense of freedom while providing security.
They assist with completing activities of daily living. Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding are self-care activities are included in the spectrum of daily living activities.
Adaptive tools make aging with dignity feel possible. Helpful instruments go a long way in making seniors feel safe and free. As physical abilities decline, older adults can start to feel like their freedom is diminishing. Adaptive tools allow seniors to take back their independence by performing daily tasks with less difficulty
Our goal at Onyx Home Care is to see the quality of life and independence of each patient increase. We know that adaptive tools are one way for older adults to maintain their mobility.
Older adults may not be ready to use adaptive tools. Should you choose to purchase tools to help your aging loved one, our team will be happy to encourage your loved one and support caregivers with this transition. Onyx Home Care team members go a long way in aiding with other more difficult tasks that adaptive tools cannot help with. We also provide peace of mind for family members as our nursing staff can assess when further assistance is necessary.
We’ve put together a list of adaptive tools that can be used for different functions around the home. Each tool links to Amazon so you can easily purchase tools that work for yourself or an elderly loved one.
If you or a family member needs adaptive tools, it may be time for home care. Contact our team to learn more about how home care can increase independence and quality of life.
