The kitchen can be a challenging – and even dangerous – place for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s. However, there are more dementia friendly kitchen appliances out there that are easier to use with built-in safety functions too. Here are some of my favorites!
Electric cookers help seniors and the elderly safely prepare food at home and remain independent. The best electric cookers for the elderly are easy to use, have built in safety features, and are easy to clean.
The best coffee makers for seniors and the elderly have simple controls, an automatic shut-off setting with buttons and switches that are easy to see. I personally recommend the Keurig K-Express or the Hamilton Beach Scoop brewers. Here’s why.
Arthritis, hand weakness, dementia and other common problems of aging can make even the simple act of heating water painful and difficult. Look for manual and electric tea kettles that are lightweight, easy to fill, easy to pour, and safer than other tea kettles. Here are the best tea kettles for elderly and senior users.
Toasters and toaster ovens have many useful purposes for seniors and the elderly in addition to just fixing breakfast. The best toasters and toaster ovens have safety features that reduce the chance of burns or fires, cooks food quickly, and are easy to operate.
Opening canned food is difficult – and even painful – for many seniors and elderly people… especially those with arthritis. But, there are can openers that are easier to use with less pain. Here are the best can openers for seniors and the elderly.
Choose a microwave oven that has simple controls like dials or knobs, controls that are easy to read, a pull-style handle, an auto shutoff sensor and a loud DING! Avoid large microwaves with lots of buttons, lots of text, and push button door openers (especially for arthritis in the hand).
Arthritis in the hands can make opening jars painful if not even impossible. Here are the best jar openers for arthritic hands to help you open jars more easily and with less pain.
