Everyone knows that teenage drivers are likely to get into accidents because they are still learning how to drive conservatively and safely. The other group that is likely to get in a car accident is seniors and because of their age they are more likely to be injured from even simple fender-benders. According to a National Institute on Aging report on America’s elderly, “Seniors over the age of 65 and over are second-most likely to die in car accidents, after young people aged 15-24.” One solution is for seniors to use the Internet for shopping and avoid unnecessary trips in the car. It is important that seniors know how to shop on the Internet and shop at reputable places. That is why Call Senior Care (www.callseniorcare.com) is happy to announce its secured shopping area on its website. Shopping on the Internet is convenient, money-saving, time-saving and reducing the chance of car accidents. Seniors are encouraged to shop online for basic needs and there are many things that are available, even grocery delivery. When you add up the gas, the car maintenance, and the possibilities of having a accident, it is better for senior to save their driving for a nice Sunday drive to church and let someone else who is younger like a friend, family member or caregiver be the driver. You don’t want to be totally house bound, but you do want to save your driving for special occasions and let the delivery men bring you the rest of the things you need.

Shopping for gifts for seniors offers a whole bunch of exciting possibilities! The new Senior Shopping section on Call Senior Care (www.callseniorcare.com) is chocked full of them. Some of our favorites are: for the ladies – beautiful rosewood jewelry boxes, for the men – miniature green level cufflinks, the kind of level that construction guys use to see if the wood is level or not (which your grandkids will be fascinated with). How about some support hose or non-slip socks? Those are always a nice item to have anew. There is also music, movies, and all kinds of electronics. One of our favorite electronic devices is called “TV Ears.”
For those that are a bit hard of hearing, it provides a private amplification system where each person can turn the volume up as loud as they need it to be in their private headphones. Maybe you will want to get a big wide-screen TV and a home theater sound to go with those headphones. A very nice and always welcome choice is a gift basket of gourmet foods with wines, cheese, or chocolates unless there is a bit of a weight problem or diabetes. In that case you could send gourmet coffee or tea. Want to encourage your favorite senior to visit you? How about a nice travel wallet with a light and a magnifier. That will let them know you really want to see them and maybe even you can go on a cruise or a trip together. All of this and more is available on the new Senior Shopping Section of Call Senior Care at www.callseniorcare.com
