I signed up for Amazon Prime before I became a caregiver, but I never really started appreciating the benefits of Prime until it got to where it just wasn’t feasible to go to the store every time we needed something.
At first, it was just subscribing to Grandma’s LifeSavers Pep-o-Mints, so I didn’t have to go to the store every time she ran out.
As time passes, Grandma is less able to go out on shopping trips, especially if there is a lot of walking involved. By using Amazon to make our purchases, I am able to include her in making choices about things. When she needs something, we can pull it up on one of our phones and make a decision about the purchase together.
Amazon has had some great deals on some of the equipment she has needed, like her bed rail, walker tray, raised toilet seat, and lightweight wheelchair. Ultimately, we saved a ton of money on those things, because they were much cheaper than they were in the store. On top of them, we got them without delay and we didn’t have to pay shipping (Thank you, FREE 2-Day Shipping!).

Amazon Prime is definitely one of the key items in my caregiver survival kit! It has been a lifesaver on many occasions.
