  Product & Equipment Reviews

ELENKER All-Terrain Upright Rollator Walker

 I have found that after reviewing several upright rollators, the Elenker brand has several options to choose from. Their seats are narrower which enables you to get closer and walk upright. They offer several models from 19# to 29# with features like compact folding seats which offers space savings. Pricing can range from approximately $139 to $209 depending on the features you choose. You can find these on Amazon.

V8 - iLIVING Foldable Electric Mobility Scooter

 One of the things that I like about this scooter is the weight and ease of operation when traveling. It folds up like a suitcase and only weighs 40#. The weight includes 2 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. You can drive it down the airport ramp and leave to have taken down to storage without removing the batteries. It has a 2-step fold and unfold operation system. You can travel up to 15 miles on a charge. You may find this on Amazon.

 Patented NEENCA Professional Knee Brace

 I am 82-year-old retired firefighter, and I finally found a brace that provides some relief for my old line-of-duty injuries. The Patented NEENCA Professional Knee Brace for Knee Pain, Hinged Knee Support with Patented X-Strap Fixing System, Medical for Pain Relief, Arthritis, Meniscus Tear, ACL, PCL, MCL, it serves me well.  My only caution is choosing the size. I measured my thigh as they said to do, and my measurement was right at the border of 2 different sizes; the max on one size and the least on the next size. Since I read one reviewer say the brace was too big, I decided to buy the smaller of the 2 choices. I do want to say they have very good customer service.

 Hands Free Drinking System

 The Giraffe Bottle Tower Hands Free Drinking System is a highly adaptable, customizable assistive technology tool that excels in giving users independence. It is ideal for individuals with limited mobility, allowing them to drink easily from desks, beds, or wheelchairs. One of my big  caution is, failing to clean the tubing of your Giraffe Bottle Tower Hands Free Drinking System allows bacteria, mold, and yeast to quickly accumulate inside the straw and check valve. This poses a significant health risk, potentially causing infections, foul tastes, and severe blockages that restrict fluid flow

MCombo Large Power Lift Recliner Chair

 I brought one of this Mcombo Large Power Lift Recliner Chair for my disabled grandson who is 6’ 212 lbs and has a traumatic brain injury. He spends a lot of his time in a recliner rather than a wheelchair. The recliner is used to assist him to a standing position so I can transfer him safely to his wheelchair. The benefits are steady, easy help of rising to his feet, it reduces the risk of injury for him, me and other caregivers. Very easy to put together. Well-built, good comfort, design, seat quality of material seems good, and very quiet in operation, with the lift and recline sure to be a benefit him.

Zip Sheet

 Wow. . .You will love these. I first bought a set for Christmas for my sister who is 80 years old and has issues making her bed. Everyone at first laughed because I bought her sheets. But when she first put them on, she fell in love with them. She can make the bed with ease. The sheets don’t wrinkle and they stay put. I then bought a set for my bed. My only suggestion would be to get the  Basic set with a fitted sheet base and 2 zip on sheets. You can buy very nice top sheets and pillow cases at a much better price. My Cal King top sheet was actually too big for my bed, so I replaced it with another less expensive sheet. The Basic set with base and 2 zip on sheets is  what I bought for my sister. I wish I had not wasted my money on the top sheet and pillow cases and had gotten the 2 zip sheets instead. Lesson learned that I’m passing on to you.

 I swear by this heating pad.  It combines red light therapy with high quality jade and tourmaline to provide mild far infrared and negative ions to promote blood circulation, relax muscles and relieve soreness.  Jade is also known for a calming effect which is good for sleep.  I loaned this unit to a friend with chronic back pain, and she immediately went to Amazon to order one.

 The unit displayed here is the Platinum Pro Ultra which we purchased in October of 2025.  We are completely satisfied with this unit.  We have felt like it has improved our sleep, pain along with increased energy, and weight loss.   

 We initially had an issue with some parts and instructions, but when my husband reached out to their customer service, our problem was handled efficiently and with great awesome customer service. 

 They have units under the Biomax 9th Generation in four sizes ranging from $659 to $1299.  The advanced Platinum Prom line offers four sizes ranging from $799 to $1650.

It does Keeps my grandson free from most pressure sores and performs on par with hospital-grade equipment I think.

 Pull-out Cabinet Organizers

 We find that these pull-out cabinet organizers provide a major safety advantage for us as seniors. They completely eliminate the need to get on hands and knees, bend awkwardly, or stretch to reach items in the back, significantly reducing the risks of back strain, falls, and dropped items. 

 

For seniors looking to improve kitchen accessibility, these organizers offer distinct benefits:

​

  • Full Extension Glides: Pull-out shelves and wire baskets slide entirely out of the cabinet, bringing the back of the shelf to you. This saves older adults from having to crawl or blindly search on deep, dark shelves. 

     

  • Fall Prevention: By keeping contents highly visible and easy to grasp, they reduce the need to climb on precarious step stools or tiptoe to reach high upper cabinets. 

     

  • Independent Living: Easier access allows seniors to safely retrieve heavy cookware, appliances, and pantry items without straining their strength or balance.

 Adjustable Rolling Stool with Footrest

 The stool was easy to put together. I have a back injury so I cannot stand for long periods of time and this stool allows me to cook our meals and get around the kitchen easier. It has been wonderful to be able to cook again. The cons of the stool are that you need to be very careful sitting down on it. I back it against my kitchen cabinets and hold on with both hands so that it does shoot out from underneath me. Another con is to not lean over the sides too far, as again it could shoot out from underneath.  Also be careful on the tile as it can hang up on the spaces on the tile.  Just be careful when using this item.

 FREETOO All-Around Compression Arthritis Gloves

 I have tried so many different styles of gloves to relieve the pain from the arthritis in my hands and have found that these compression gloves are effective for pain relief, particularly for arthritis.  These gloves offer good compression and fit well, especially for small hands. Although they may seem small when you first put them on, they soon become like a second skin, and you hardly realize that you are wearing them.  I bought a pair for Joe, and he fell in love with them at once.  I just wish they came in something other than black, as although Joe and I wear different sizes, it’s sometimes a pain to ensure that I have the right pair.

  Ice Maker with Water Dispenser 

 We have been using this ice maker and water dispenser for over five years now, and it has worked great. The ice-making speed is impressive, and the bucket is sufficient for everyday use. Although we don’t use the water dispenser, it is a convenient feature. 

The machine is convenient, saves counter space, and makes it easy to get cold water and fresh ice whenever needed. The different ice size options are a nice feature, and the ice basket holds a good amount of ice. 

The machine runs quietly, looks modern on the countertop, and is very easy to operate. The control panel is straightforward, and the indicator lights make it simple to know when more water is needed or when the ice basket is full. 

One thing we have found is that sometimes the 5-gallon bottle may be too heavy for a senior to handle, but we have also used the 1-gallon bottles on it which are easier to handle. 

 

Persimmon Body Wash.jpg

 Persimmon Soap 

 I wanted to try this soap as it is highly recommended for ladies of a certain age. #IYKYK girls. Ladies, you can share this with your gentlemen's friends too.   As we age, we tend not to smell as good as we once did.  Am I getting too personal here, LOL. This soap is amazing.  I have had an issue with pit smell as I age (family trait. . . I know TMI), I have tried everything including soaps, deodorants and until I found this soap nothing really helped.   

The bars are kind of small but it forms a thick lather, quickly and if you follow instructions regarding use and leave on for 30 seconds...then rinse it works well, against Oder of pits feet and private parts, it has to be used often in order to work properly. 

The bars come with a small mesh bag which is perfect for hanging in the shower, so it doesn't go to waste.  It also is great to exfoliate that dead skin and oil that builds daily. 

 

There is also a body wash that men may like better (or keeps them away from our bars. LOL) 

 

The scent is very pleasant and also moisturizes the skin.

 

Total Relief Magnesium Cream.jpg

 Total Relief - Magnesium Cream 

 I discovered this cream after reading an article on how Magnesium can help relieve nerve pain and relax muscles.  The lotion is white and creamy and has a very pleasant and calming lavender scent. It absorbs rather quickly and does not feel greasy afterwards. Joe & I did not experience any skin irritation from using it.  We felt that our muscles were relaxed.  I use it on my arthritis pain in my feet, and Joe mainly uses it on his lower back. 
 
The cream contains ingredients such as magnesium (to support muscle comfort and relaxation), msm (to support mobility and flexibility), and arnica (to soothe and comfort). Together they can soothe tired muscles and help your muscles relax. 

 

Arbonne Skin Elixer.jpg
Arbonne Fiber.jpg

 The Arbonne Promise

 I have been using the Arbonne line of products for over 15 years and have been very pleased with the results.  I use their Meal Replacement Protein mixed with the Fiber and the Skin Elixir most mornings.  I’ve found that it keeps me full through the morning hours and maintains my gut health.  The addition of the Skin Elixir helps my face retain its moisture.  It can also be used for weight loss when drinking two meals a day.   

 

 The other Arbonne product I use is the Arbonne DermResults Advanced Cleansing Balm.  This balm helps to keep my skin hydrated and soft.  I use it daily.

 

Frankinsence Oil Roll-on.jpg

 Vitalty Essential Oil

  I discovered Vitality Essential Oils a couple years ago when I started using their Skin Envy.  Wow, what a product.  It has helped to reduce those fine lines around my eyes and lips and helps to keep my skin moisturized all day long.   Another of my favorite products is the Frankincense Balm and Roll-on.  I recently had knee surgery and used it on my scar.  By the time I went to my 6-week checkup, my doctor was impressed with how fast it had healed.  It is also great for those dark age spots we get when we bump our skin.  Along with its healing properties, it is also great for pain relief in muscles and joints. 

A good accessibility product can be the difference between independence and relying on others to survive. Choosing the right product or equipment for the disabled or elder care can be difficult and needs to be functional, safe and designed for your needs. It also must be affordable and have a good return on investment.
