Assisted Home Care in Fernandina

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Jacksonville, we know how important it is for seniors to continue living at home. Those that maintain a safe, stable home life enjoy more dignity, privacy, and comfort than those who move to a care facility. Our assisted home care is designed to help Fernandina area seniors continue living where they belong. We offer customized assistance, flexible scheduling, and some great tips on how to boost the safety of your loved one's home. 

The bedroom is a crucial area to secure. You need to make sure there is minimal clutter and that your loved one has easy access to everything they need. A great starting point is to spend a day with your loved one, going through their closet and figuring out what items they no longer need. This will reduce clutter and give them fewer potential items to trip over. 

Lighting is also very important. Make sure your loved one has easy access to light switches from their bed so they can illuminate the room before moving through the space. If this isn't possible, encourage them to keep a flashlight on their night stand at all times. If possible, you can even install rope lighting which connects the bathroom and the bedroom, making those late night trips to the toilet that much safer. 

The bottom line is that falls are a huge risk for most seniors and you need to take appropriate precautions. Providing your loved one with a clean, organized, clutter-free, and well-lit bedroom is a great way to improve their safety and make their living situation more comfortable.
