Portable Heaters Keep Your Elderly Loved One Toasty Warm

In our own house, portable heaters were positioned in every room, close to my elderly Mom’s favorite sitting spot. This strategy helped her remain warm (very important for her arthritic joints) while I didn’t sweat to death.

Using a portable heater also saved on my heating bill. Since my house is very old and heated with oil, these port diminutive heaters saved my wallet!

Portable heaters used to be a fire hazard but no longer. Today, however, all portable heaters are required to have an automatic shut off so, even if the heater is tipped over, it will not catch fire.

Still, I would take great care in where I place these portable heaters – put them in a corner in the bedroom or living room so they’re not a tripping hazard.
