In Home Care in Dublin

Age in Place with These Home Upgrades

Since the coronavirus pandemic, more seniors than ever are choosing in home care over assisted living facilities. However, not all homes are equipped to accommodate the needs of elderly adults. If your loved one is among the many choosing to age in place in Dublin, OH, you can help make their home safer with a few simple home modifications.

• Add non-slip mats or flooring. Falls are common among seniors and can lead to significant injuries, including hip fractures. A budget-friendly solution is adding slip-resistant mats in high traffic areas, such as the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen.
• Raise the height of the toilet seats. If your loved one has trouble sitting or standing up, a standard height toilet seat can be a struggle. Instead, opt for raised seats that require less effort.
• Upgrade doorknobs. Knob-style door handles require a firm grip and a twisting motion that can be difficult and painful for seniors with arthritis. Lever-style handles are easy to install and demand much less effort.
