Product recommendations
The list of products below are what we use to make our Parkinson’s journey easier. We have purchased and tested many, many, many products but these are the ones that are still in use – some many times per day. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or need any additional advice!
Pill Holders
We use these simple cases for the larger doses in the morning and night (one case for each).
Water bottle for bed
Since it’s hard for my MWP to sit up in bed, this is perfect to let her easily get some water during the night.
Daily Water Bottle
We have two of these going every day. One with water and the other with ginger ale. The measurements make it easy to track.
Heated Blanket
This blanket has 4 settings to find just the right temp. It also auto shuts off after so many hours to keep you safe.
Weighted silverware
We have a few sets of these. They make eating much easier and more comfortable for my MWP.
Daily Inside Walker
This is the walker we keep inside. It gets tons of use and is her favorite color – red.
Walker - outdoor / heavy duty
We purchased this walker for outside walks and when we need something stronger.
Wheelchair Walker Combo
This walker doubles as a wheelchair if my MWP is getting too tired to keep walking. Just fold out the feet and you are good to go.
Pill Dispenser
We rely on this daily. It has an annoying alarm that will not allow you to forget your next dose!
Cup Holder for Walker
We have a couple of these. Being hydrated is half the battle so we take our drinks everywhere!
Travel Cane
We had a few of these (at her home and at my home). They are easy to fold up and are stable.
Phone Stand
We have a couple of these in the house. It’s an easy way to facetime or just keep the phone close by.
Wireless Phone Charger
We have one of these at the bed stand for over night charging and another in the kitchen in case we need some extra juice.
Rolling Table / Stand
We use three of these. One by the bed to hold her phone, charger, meds, etc. Another by her TV room chair and a third by the couch.
Bidet - Heated with dryer
I highly recommend a good bidet. Urinary tract infections cause a lot of issues with Parkinson’s patients and this helps tremendously.
Hand Exerciser
We noticed these help a ton. The different colors are levels of stiffness. They are easy to use and can do it while watching TV.
Memory Game
Just like the games we played at 3 years old. These memory games are great to keep the mind fresh and keep working that brain muscle.
Label Maker
Life is easier when it’s organized. We label as much as we can to help our caretakers and remember where things go.
Tool Kit
It got old having to grab tools every time I went to my mom’s to fix something. We bought this to keep there and has everything we need.
Bed Safety Rail
This is perfect to help keep her safe in bed and also as a handle to maneuever in and out of bed.
Large Digital Clock
We have two of these in the house. One next to the TV and one in her bedroom. It makes it MUCH easier to read than her phone or watch.
Motion Senser Night Lights
We use these in the hallways and rooms. Provides just enough light to see.
Amazon Echo
We have these in every room of the house. These are great for reminders, to call for help, music and much more.
Wyse Security Camera
We have these throughout the house as well. Since I don’t live with my MWP I use these to check on her. I have timers for motion sensers to alert me as well.
