Falling is the #1 cause sending seniors to the emergency room. Poor lighting in the bedroom, bathroom and hallway is a key cause of tripping and stumbling.

6. Electric Razor
Using a blade with an unsteady hand is like playing Russian roulette with your skin. Getting a cut while on blood thinners can send you to the hospital. Seniors should definitely consider making the switch from a blade to an electric razor. An easier, faster and safer shave will also mean seniors will be more likely to shave more frequently, making them feel well kept and better about themselves.
The woman's cordless Panasonic electric razor is only $14.99 and has great customer reviews.

7. Amazon Echo Dot or Google Home
How nice would it be to have your own personal assistant? Not all gifts for seniors have to be low tech! Seniors can now use Amazon's Echo Dot or Google Home to ask for a medication or appointment reminder, wake-up alarm, hands free phone call, call for an Uber, if a store is open, play music or read a book. These intelligent home systems are perfect for so many of the daily tasks seniors struggle with.

8. Smartphone for Seniors
Having a cell phone is a great way for seniors to stay safe and socially connected with friends and family. From calling to text, photos, email and daily games it can be a treasure trove of fun and usefulness. The challenge of course is that regular smart phones typically have smaller text and icons that most seniors can read. Jitterbug Smart has the largest fonts around and is also really simple to navigate. It even comes with the 5Star Emergency Response App and voice typing!
The Jitterbug Smart smartphone is $149.00 plus your monthly fee, which can start as low as $5.00 a month for 50 minutes or $40 a month for unlimited talk, text and data!

9. Fall Resistant Slippers
Wearing the wrong footwear is a big cause of tripping and falls among seniors. Slippers with low heels, thin, slip resistant soles and a backing on the heel to prevent the slipper from falling off are the keys to finding a safe slipper. Match those attributes with comfort and style and you have the perfect slipper. We've also tried to find slippers that are adjustable and machine washable - especially helpful for those with swollen feet and incontinence.
The above slippers from Acorn are sleek, comfy, machine washable, rubber soled and have a back to cover your heel - they also have great ratings and reviews!
