For Seniors – 5 Best Safety Devices Under $25

For Seniors – 5 Best Safety Devices Under $25 img 1

Allowing our seniors to age in place safely poses new challenges with the pandemic. Many families that are caring for their own children as well as their aging families are often called the “sandwich generation”. This obviously adds additional stress and concerns. Caregivers may have less ability to check in on their aging family members due to homeschooling, increased work and family demands. To help with these dynamic stressors, here are 5 of the most cost-effective safety devices on the market.


  1. First Alert Motion Sensing Motion Activated Light Socket – $22.75

It offers a 360-degree motion sensor within a 12-foot radius. This device is helpful in dark spaces such as basements, laundry rooms, attics, garages, and other dark spaces. It is easily installed and compatible with all indoor light sockets. This will help to ensure rooms have proper lighting to avoid falls.
