Senior Care in Tamarac

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

Caring for a loved one with dementia by yourself can be a very difficult balancing act. If you are struggling, consider hiring quality senior care in Tamarac. When an aging parent has memory issues, otherwise normal parts of the home can become safety issues. We’ve put together a list of some common household risks for people with memory impairments to be aware of. A smart strategy for families helping their loved ones is to follow these safety tips along with senior care through Visiting Angels^® Coral Springs. 

Memory Care Risk Factors around the House

• Remove inner door locks
• Install auto lights or night lights
• Protect exterior locks

While inner door locks in bedrooms and bathrooms provide privacy, they can confuse and isolate aging adults with dementia. Disorientation during the night can be a problem for seniors. Night lights in halls as well as motion-sensor lights can reduce fall risk by boosting visibility. Some seniors with dementia can leave the home unexpectedly. Protect exterior locks to ensure your aging parent doesn’t leave without your knowledge.
