Home Safety Tips for Seniors

With our senior care, Visiting Angels^® Stamford provides local seniors with added support, companionship, and customized care to reduce home injury risks and maintain a higher quality of life. Securing our in-home support is a terrific way to help your loved one avoid the move to a care facility. To help us build the safest possible home life, here are some tips for increasing the convenience of their living space.

Medications, food products, spices, and other essentials should be stored on shelves that are easy to access. You do not want your loved one reaching up or bending down to access common daily items.

Another way to improve convenience is to make sure they have emergency contact information along with some type of communication device. Use refrigerator magnets to put contact information in plain sight. If they do not own a cell phone, consider getting one for them and making sure they have it on their nightstand or side table in the living room at all times. As an alternative, you could also install some type of medical alert system. 

Proper lighting is very important for seniors, especially for those who suffer from declining mobility. To make things easier, organize their living room and bedroom so they can access the light switch from their bed, favorite chair, or preferred spot on the couch. If this is not an option, you could install a remote lighting set up. Basically, they need to be able to illuminate the room without getting up and fumbling for a light switch in the dark. 

Taking these steps to improve their safety and convenience is a great way to supplement our professional support and create a safer home life for your loved one.
