Most seniors want to live at home for as long as possible. After all, home is where most of us feel happiest and most comfortable. Unfortunately, with age comes changes in ability and a greater risk for injury from trips and falls. If your loved one lives independently in Bridgewater, NJ, in home care from Visiting Angels^® of Morris and Somerset County can help them age in place safely.

Preventing Falls at Home 

Falls are serious events for seniors. At best, they result in bruises and temporary pain. In many instances, they result in head injuries, broken bones, and fractured hips.

Implementing fall prevention at home can reduce the risk of falls and injury. Start with assessing the home for fall hazards. Installing grab bars in the bathroom and reflective tape on stairs are simple modifications that can make a big impact. Even clearing clutter in hallways and storing frequently used items in easy-to-reach locations makes a difference. 

Assistance from a caregiver is another way to help your loved one remain safe as they age in place. Caregivers from Visiting Angels of Morris and Somerset County are kind, professional, and committed to helping seniors live independently.
