Good suggestion. I was wondering about playground equipment (heavy plastic)..that receives a lot of wear & tear. The stairs & drop off areas have no contrast. -----Original Message----- From: visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of McInnis, Janet (LARA) Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 9:17 AM To: marydonato@xxxxxxxxxxx; Brink-Chaney, Marcie (LARA); jadkins@xxxxxxxxx; Lynn.Jensen@xxxxxxx; visionrehabtherapist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Re: Tape for steps I have used spray paint with the gritty texture on steps AND on my outside planters. Inexpensive, lots of colors, and options. It did not flake off after a season, but wore down perhaps faster on outdoor carpet than planned, but, is still visible. ________________________________ From: visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of mary donato [marydonato@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 4:32 PM To: Brink-Chaney, Marcie (LARA); jadkins@xxxxxxxxx; Lynn.Jensen@xxxxxxx; visionrehabtherapist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Tape for steps Hi everyone, My agency use to use a 4M glow in the dark tactile (it had traction on it non skid) tape for the first and last steps for stairs. This tape could also be used out doors. The tape is no longer available. It was very expensive. The yellow/black and white/black warning tape in MaxiAides will not due for steps. Too slippery no traction. Any recommendations as to where I can find a similar tape. It was great.

This might work better than a pill box which it seems he doesn't need.

He does not need a pill reminder but an alarm for diabetic management. Does anyone have experience with three of the products I saw in the MaxiAids catalog? They are the following "Pill Time" 4 separate alarms. Can be clipped to belt. The Reizen vibratory pill organizer with LCD clock-vibrating alarm-timer 5 alarms. The Reizen vibrating 5 alarm pill box, with pulse rate monitor included. If there is another product that would meet this need please suggest.
