Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® Santa Barbara, our in home care improves the lives of Santa Maria area seniors. We focus on providing customized assistance to meet their needs, along with warm, compassionate support to keep them in a more positive mental state. The goal is to help them safely extend their time living in their own home and prevent relocation to an assisted care facility. As part of this effort, we strongly encourage you to consider some helpful home safety upgrades. 

The key to providing a safer environment for your loved one, is to get proactive about fall risks. Even a simple tumble while walking up the stairs or getting out of the shower can have dramatic consequences. Fortunately, there are some great modifications you can make to their home to limit these risks and provide a safer space for your loved one. These include:

• Installing grab bars in the tub or shower
• Purchasing a shower chair
• Using non-slip floor mats in the bathroom
• Removing any loose rugs/carpets from the floor
• Switching to LED lights
• Putting kitchen essentials easily within reach (hip to shoulder height)
