Simple Warmth for Older Adults
A warm lap, comfortable hands and a favorite chair can make a cold day feel much more inviting. For older adults, the best warmer is usually one that is easy to position, simple to use and not unnecessarily heavy.
Choose the Right Shape
Compact Baxter Hand Warmers are easy to hold. The Rockport Seal tucks behind the back, and the Camden Neck Wrap rests across the shoulders.
Use Extra Care with Temperature
Always test the warmer before use. Start gently, keep a layer of clothing between the warmer and sensitive skin when appropriate, and avoid use while sleeping. Anyone with reduced temperature sensation should ask a caregiver or medical professional for guidance.
Make It Easy
Keep the instructions nearby and have someone else handle microwave warming if lifting, timing or temperature testing is difficult.
Maine Warmers are comfort products, not medical devices. Follow the warming and cooling instructions supplied with your product and seek medical guidance for health concerns.
