Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

With our professional in home care, Visiting Angels^® Siouxland can help your elderly loved one remain in the comfort of their own home. For many seniors with reduced abilities, the move to assisted living can feel imminent. However, with the right support around the house, we can extend their home life and allow them to enjoy a more comfortable existence. As part of this goal, we also have some great suggestions for home modifications to enhance safety. 

The biggest concern is to limit fall risks across the space. Many falls happen in the shower or bath, so it's critical to install hand-railing and utilize non-slip floor mats. To make washing up easier for those with reduced mobility, a hand held shower head is a great asset. 

Other ways to increase comfort and safety around the house include: adding more lighting, reorganizing kitchen cabinets for easy access, and replacing door knobs with levers. 

By securing our help and making the necessary changes to create a safer environment, you can give your parent or relative the gift of a continued home life. Staying at home allows them more autonomy, dignity, and connection to the outside world. It is a terrific way to boost their mental and physical health, and we're proud to help local families make this possible.
