As highlighted on The Today
Show & within USA Today as “a tool to help care for elderly loved ones,” the Walker Squawker by Ageless Innovation is a cheery, artfully crafted animatronic bird designed to sit, sing, and play atop of walking devices – keeping your loved one company as they go about their day.
Invented by 93-year-old Rita Melone, an older adult determined to improve her own experience with her walker, the Walker Squawker was designed to serve as a playful reminder to use one’s walker by providing t
he user with an interactive, encouraging, and personalized “sidekick.” In line with Ageless Innovation’s current product line and overarching mission, the birds were created to deliver joy, fun, and companionship to older adults, their families, and their caregivers.
Ageless Innovation has worked tirelessly to deliver enjoyable experiences to older adults and their families through unique product offerings, beginning with the Joy for All Companion Pet Pups and Cats. The launch of the Walker Squawker will follow suit, and comes at a key time when social isolation, loneliness, and physical and cognitive decline among older adults is at an all-time high - ultimately placing caregivers and tools to aid them in high demand.
