Posted On: September 10, 2021 by CarePro Health Services in: Age In Place, Bathroom Safety, Falls, Lift Chair
Many people would like to stay in their homes as long as they can as it brings them a sense of independence and comfort. However, as you start to age, your mobility starts to decline, making simple tasks such as walking downstairs and getting out of the chair more difficult. Here are some things you can add and remove from your home in order to make sure that it is the safest it can be.
Keep Stairs Safe
Making sure all the stair railings inside and outside of your home are sturdy ensures that the stairs are safe as you use them. Update your stairs so they are well lit with a light switch at the top and bottom of them, so you can see where you are going and do not miss a step and fall. If your stairs are becoming an issue and getting harder to walk up and down, getting a stair lift is a great option to keep you safe.
