Dear Savvy Senior, My sister and I recently bought our

grandmother, who has difficulty hear- ing, an amplifier for her telephone so she can hear us when we call. Grand- ma, who is 79, is in good physical con- dition but along with her hearing, her sight and memory also are fading. 1 have heard there are other household gadgets for elder people that can help make their life easier and more con- venient. Can you give us some other recommendations thdt Can. help grandma maintain her independence ?

Thank You, ■ Gadget Goobers .

Dear Gadget, > V .< .,' I'm glad you ask!!! There1. aFe'

"•' -tnany savvy household gadgets.for a V couple of goobers to consider; that can

< help seniors maintain their indepen- dence and, YES, even improve their quality of life. These gadgets are called assistive devices, designed to help with such activities as getting dressed, taking a shower, reaching out-of-the-way places, opening doors, reading, writing, remembering to take medications and hearing the person on the other end of the telephone line.

The cost and choice of assistive devices vary widely. You may be sur- prised to learn that the cost of some these gadgets may be covered by in- surance. Be sure to check with your grandmother's health insurance pro- vider to see what they might cover. Her doctor also might give you some helpful guidance.

Here is a savvy sampling of some assistive devices for those who have:

Trouble Hearing •Telephone amplifiers with adjust-

able tone, pitch and volume •Flashing-light phones, doorbells

and smoke alarm adapters •Cordless headphones for televi-

sions and audio devices •Vibrating alarm clocks you can
