Best Bottle Pouring & Cup Drinking Aids For The Elderly

The Marusya Inc’s No-Slip Easy Grip Cup is an ideal solution if you have issues with getting a secure handle on the cups you use, possibly due to weak or shaky hands.

This product comes with grip spots for your fingers that allow your hands to fit easily, so you don’t need to worry about the cup slipping through. The product is also designed to be sturdy and is virtually indestructible, so you needn’t worry if it happens to fall off the counter. Since it’s so sturdy, you can also rest assured that it will fit into your current cup collection without the need to be replaced frequently.

Occupational therapists specifically designed this cup so that it fulfills the needs of these seniors with reduced strength or limited mobility, so they’re also lightweight and easy to balance when you set them down. They are a great size for most drinking uses and come in a variety of colors to match your kitchen style.

Seniors with weak hands, arthritis, or any type of mobility condition such as Parkinson’s, will understand how dangerous it can be to enjoy hot beverages. Even the slightest movement could cause an accident with the hot liquid spilling onto you. With the Relaxus Dual Handled Mug, you can enjoy your coffee or tea just like you used to, with the added support of a dual handle.

The mug is classically designed to keep beverages warm, though without a lid your beverage will cool pretty quickly. It is a nice size that is well-balanced and holds a generous amount of liquid.

If you have extremely shaky handles or mobility problems, we may not recommend this product because it still lacks a lid or spill proof design. Instead, this mug is the best option for seniors who may have weak hands or arthritis in one hand where the pressure needs to be removed as they’re lifting cups.

The Independence 2-Handle Plastic Mug offers a safer alternative to glass or ceramic cups. The product is valued priced with three included with your purchase, and it is made out of a clear plastic material. With this mug, the senior using it is kept safe from breaking it or accidentally spilling their beverage. Even if it drops on the floor, the plastic material protects it from damage, such as with a glass or ceramic cup. Therefore, this mug is an especially great option for seniors who live alone and can’t physically clean up accidents like broken glass.

You can use this mug with or without a spout, though there are also openings for straws. The manufacturer took care with the design to fashion them with a larger base, making it more balanced to be set on a table. We feel this mug is the best option for seniors who might be suffering from Parkinson’s or a similar mobility condition.

These Providence Kennedy Cups are specifically designed to prevent all spills, even if they end up being turned upside down. With this cup, you can use it witch straws and even lay in bed as you sip your beverage. The cups hold about 7 ounces, which may be enough for most individuals, though there is no option for a larger size.

We recommend these cups for seniors with weak or shaky hands, but feel that two handles would only get in the way. This specific Kennedy cup only comes with one handle, so if you have arthritis in your dominant hand you may choose to opt for a style with two handles so you can help relieve pressure off of the hand. Otherwise, this is a great option, especially for seniors who live alone and can’t always bend down should there be any spills.

The Cooks Innovations Universal Bottle Handle allows seniors to continue enjoying their favorite beverages and even continue entertaining at their household without having to worry about picking up heavy two-liter bottles. The design is simple yet effective, which speaks a lot to the manufacturer’s ingenuity. The holder fits over most of the body of any two-liter sized bottle with a good-sized handle that is adequate for most anyone.

If you’re a senior who is used to entertaining at your house and need to continue purchasing large bottles of beverage, this holder allows you to continue hosting despite your age or strength. However, we do not recommend using this holder if you know you cannot pick up the weight of a two-liter bottle.

Like the Cooks Innovations Universal Bottle Holder, the Carton Caddy XL Juice Holder transforms any beverage carton you have in your fridge into an easy-to-pour container. Many cartons are flimsy and not as sturdy as plastic bottles, so they’re even harder to pour for seniors who may have weak hands or arthritis.

This item makes pouring from cartons easier by strengthening the container with a solid frame that fits around them.

The Magic Tap is the best option for seniors with limited mobility and strength. This tap will fit into most large bottles, and once it’s fit into one all you have to do is push your cup against the blue trigger. This allows you to dispense any beverage hands free, eliminating the need to unscrew caps, lift bottles and pour. Installation is also very simple, and most seniors should be able to handle it on their own. The tap will also eliminate drips and spills, allowing you to enjoy your beverage instead of worrying about accidents.

The Jokari 2 Count Push-and-Pour Milk Spouts replaces the standard caps on bottles with one that is easier to pour without leaving a mess. It won’t drip, so that your refrigerator stays clean and you won’t have to worry about cleaning up any mess. All you have to do is swap out the existing cap on your bottles with this one. It’ll keep the contents fresh just like before.

We feel this is the best option for seniors who may only have problems unscrewing caps, because you’ll still need to be able to lift the bottles that the cap is attached to.
