Senior Care in Feasterville-Trevose

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Bensalem, we understand the value of keeping your elderly loved one in their own home. A home life brings privacy, dignity, and many wonderful comforts, and we are proud to help keep local seniors where they belong. However, in order to avoid the move to a care facility, many seniors need a bit of help. As part of our senior care for Feasterville-Trevose area seniors, we offer customized support, flexible scheduling, and some vital suggestions for safety-boosting home modifications. 

With many dangerous falls taking place in the bathroom, we always encourage family members to pay special attention to this part of the home. There are several ways you can upgrade their safety and comfort without spending a ton of money remodeling the space. First, you should buy non-slip mats for the floors. These should be located near the tub or shower, giving them a safe and easy landing point when exiting. 

Another great addition to the bathroom, is some type of grab bar inside the shower and near the toilet. This will allow them to more easily lower themselves onto the toilet and step into the shower, therefore reducing the risk of serious falls. 

It is also important to control the water temperature. Set their thermostat so the water cannot get higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent them from accidentally scalding themselves by turning the handle too far. 

For added convenience, rearrange their medicine cabinets so they have convenient access to daily meds. Keep the items they use frequently at a comfortable height, so they don't have to reach up or bend down to access them. 

These simple tips will maximize bathroom safety and cut down on accidents in one of the most dangerous parts of their home.
