These motion lights are best in class, we have trialed several motion lights over the years and these motion lights are the brightest lights on the market, have the most extra features, and are the easiest to use. Our rechargeable motion lights don’t plug in they are set on a charging pad, that is supplied, to make charging easy, no dexterity required.:-)

Example of gift and instructions, ergonomic, safety box cutter:

The ergonomic box cutter has safety features built in and will be in an envelope that comes with the box, so mom can open the ‘Aging in place Action Kit’ safely.

Each gift in the box comes with specific instructions for use to increase safety and an activity to make mom's life easier.  For instance, with the box cutter:

OT INSTRUCTIONS

Home Mod OT instructions/Action to increase safety and convenience for mom: Pick a place just outside a door or a garage, whatever is the safest and easiest way to get into/out of the house and set up a table (at least 30” high) with a sign on it that says please put packages here. This makes life so much easier, no need to bend down to pick up packages off the ground much easier for sore, stiff knees and back and puts packages in a more ergonomically correct position, which also helps to prevent injuries and falls.

Professional Standards You Can Trust.

Every "Essential Luxury" is selected based on our clinical work with the HUD Older Adult Home Modification Program. We focus on durability, ease of use, and the highest impact on reducing fall risks.
