Do You Have Tips or Hacks?

Posted: July 12, 2024, 9:01AM

Do you have any go-to hacks?  Hacks are crafty ways to use everyday items to make life simpler.  What have you done that makes your loved one's life a little easier?  What have you done that makes your caregiving a little easier?  Please share!

Here are some examples:

* Wrap rubber bands around a drinking glass to improve grip.

*Make your own ice bag by pouring 1 part rubbing alcohol and three parts water in a freezer bag.  Freeze and you've got an ice pack!  Bags of frozen peas are also great "ice" packs!

*Attach a key ring over zipper pulls to make them easier to grasp.

*AARP has some tips

What do you do to make life a little easier?  Please share them!
