85% of seniors have done nothing to prepare their home for aging. What are the most unsafe areas of the home for seniors? Bathrooms and bedrooms lead the way followed by kitchens and stairs. Caregivers must take a critical look at the living environment. Adapting the home to prevent accidents and ensure optimal safety for your loved one is most important. Making necessary changes within the home environment may not only decrease physical hazards, but also reduce the amount of stress that is placed upon your loved one. Beneficial aids can help an older adult look after their home with dignity. These include chairlifts, ramps, rails, reaching tools, grabbers, and remote controls. Be aware of the day-to-day tasks your loved one may face and assess the risks accordingly. Minimizing risks and making a home safe for those is so important. Let’s support our loved ones in living healthy, independent, enjoyable lives in the comfort of their own homes.
