As you get older, it can be harder to both do things around the house, and to get out and about. That?s why you may need some gadgets to help you do the day to day things you used to take for granted. Here are some items that you may want to consider buying as you get older to make life easier.

A rollator

If you aren?t ready for a wheelchair, but still need some help getting around, then a rollator is a good way to give you some support. You can shop rollators in Australia and find one that suits your height and build, and they are very easy to use, as well as easily folding away to put in the car. Some rollators also have a seat, so if you need to get off your feet, it?s easy to do so.

A grabber

Bending and stretching get harder as you get old, so if you want to pick things up or grab things off the shelf, then a grabber is helpful. From loading the washing machine to picking up a dropped magazine, you are bound to use this gadget a lot.
Non-slip bathroom mats and handrails

One of the most common causes of injuries among the elderly is slips and falls in the bathroom. You may not be ready to have an accessible bathroom installed, and this can be expensive, so in the meantime you may want to consider some safety gadgets such as:

Non-slip bathmats
A shower chair
Handrails near the bath and toilet
Long handled sponges for cleaning

This ensures you can stay independent in your own home and use the bathroom with a lower risk of injury.
