Assisted living centers are a common and important business. They offer quality living for their residents. Many clients of these facilities may suffer from disabilities or physical restrictions that come with advanced age. These centers offer safety and security to those under their care. Quality facilities also work out ways to also help the clients have maximum comfort and mobility. The right accessories available for the needs of the clients can go a long way to supporting their health and comfort.

Just a few additional items to our supplies can make a big difference for those who need assistance. These accessories will be helpful in a variety of ways.

Reading small print is nearly impossible after a certain age without some sort of magnification. This large magnifying glass with an LED light combines a 5X magnification with a strong light source. The large size of this lens is excellent for allowing the viewing of entire sentences, which helps with reading and retention. The handle is ergonomically designed to be easy to hold. Having these around the reading room will help everyone get more out of the reading materials.
How the residents alert us to their need is a primary concern. We need to know when they need assistance and in large facilities this is often accomplished by built in units. For smaller facilities, or to have a device that can move with the resident, this wireless doorbell can offer a solution. This unit will function over 1000 feet and the signal penetrates through the walls. The resident can have the ring button in their room or carried in their pocket. The receiver just needs to be plugged in to any convenient outlet near the care station. When the ring button is pressed, the chime occurs at the receiver.
Night time comfort can be increased with the right body positioning pillow. This Cushy brand wedge shaped pillow provides an uplift to the head and shoulders.  This can relieve common neck discomfort as well as issues of digestion or respiration. The tallest part of the wedge is 7.5 inches which is just the right amount of elevation without causing undue lift. It comes with a washable cover and the pillow is soft and comfortable.
To go with the elevated wedge pillow is this triangle washable cover. This extra cover is a great idea so that when one cover is being laundered, the pillow can immediately be covered with another case. This is made to cover the 7.5 inch Cushy wedge pillow and will give an exact fit without wrinkles. The material is hypoallergenic and washable.
For the best night time comfort we need a dry bed. If there are mobility problems, getting out of bed at night can be an issue.  This can make getting to the bathroom in time difficult. These bed liners offer high absorbency to keep the mattress and sheets dry and clean. They are leak proof and provide odor protection as well.

It is easy to make some positive changes in the lives of residents of our centers with these simple accessories. A great idea is to make sure we have plenty of these items in stock in our storage closets for all our resident’s needs.
