Do you know that a gallon of milk or juice weighs about eight pounds? That might not seem like much when you’re in your 50s or 60s and healthy, but when your arms aren’t as strong as they used to be, it can feel like a ton. Unless you have a cool tool designed to help keep your pouring hand steady, that is.Meet the Roll ‘n Pour, a unique, cradle-like device that holds a heavy bottle and allows the user to easily tilt it to pour a glass of juice or soda without spilling a drop. Gallon and half-gallon jugs and two-liter bottles fit snugly in the Roll ‘n Pour, which sits flat on the counter until ready to use. Position a glass in front of the Roll ‘n Pour, then simply tilt it forward to pour. If your elderly loved one suffers from arthritis or other age-related joint pain and weakness, the Roll ‘n Pour can save him or her from the discomfort of lifting a heavy container, while allowing them to retain a little of their independence.
When it comes to making life easier for your loved ones, senior helpers like the Roll ‘n Pour make a fantastic addition to any kitchen. By providing help for difficult tasks, they can increase your loved one’s confidence in herself, and help you know she’s safe.
You can purchase the Roll ‘n Pour direct from the company for $22.95 plus shipping or from Amazon.com for $15.95 plus shipping.
