AWESOME PRODUCTS THAT ARE
SENSORY-SUPPORTIVE
As I speak to groups about my book, MAKING YOUR
HOME SENIOR-FRIENDLY, I am often asked about specific needs or challenges on residential enhancements. I have a special
relationship with some manufacturers of awesome products, which
I believe support my concept outlined above. Consider the
following products and ideas as you design, or remodel your
space. Contact me for more information.

difference. Depending upon the specific

Supportive Aromas
Societies throughout the ages have utilized aromas
for lifestyle enhancement, wellness and attitude.
Smell is the strongest and quickest access to the
brain! I have tried and found some awesome options for
various situations. Whether for room use, or
throughout a building, the right aroma and device can
provide the appropriate enhancement.

An Out of the Box
Option—Trains!
Once you’ve addressed safety and security
matters…added some sights and sounds, now you can
consider some creative, “out of the box” options
for your home or community. As a train enthusiast, I
have seen miniature railroads used very nicely in
retail settings. Why not try them at your
place….down the halls, outside, in the garden, etc.
These miniature trains can be programmed to run on an
actual time schedule, which you set up in advance of
dinnertime, or other daily event. Perhaps a riding
railroad would be fun when the grandchildren visit!!
So whether they run down your halls inside, or
outside in the garden or around your building, the
scheduled sights and sounds of a train can be a
valuable addition to your space.
