Stability Products
It is important for aging parents in San Marcos to avoid dropping and spilling things in the kitchen; hot food and broken glass are very common causes of injury. These tools help things stay securely in place during cooking:
- Grip mat: Simply place this mat on any countertop and it provides a non-slip surface for a container while stirring, cutting, or mixing. Price: $9.95

Other Cooking Tools
For wheelchair-bound aging parents in San Marcos, there are reach extenders specifically designed to turn stove knobs.
