Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® Greenville, we provide in home care for New Bern area seniors. Our support is intended to help keep them safely in their own home, allowing them to age in place rather than being located to an assisted living facility. As part of this effort, we would also like to recommend some helpful home upgrades that can reduce injury risks and create a more manageable environment. 

Crucial to these efforts, is limiting fall risks in the bathroom and shower. If possible, installing a walk-in shower is a great idea. We also highly encourage you to install hand-railing in the bath or shower, and to utilize non-slip mats in the bathroom. Also, a hand held shower head is great for those with limited mobility. 

To protect those with arthritis, we suggest removing door knobs from the residence and utilizing lever style door handles instead. For sinks, you can upgrade to a light sensor faucet. 

Staying at home is a great solution for many elderly residents, but it has to be done safely. Combining our caring presence with some of these crucial upgrades is a terrific way to minimize the threat of accidents around the home and allow your loved one to retain all the comforts of their own space.
