Senior Care in Orchard Farm

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Greater St. Charles, the goal of our senior care in Orchard Farm is to create the safest and most comfortable home lives for local seniors. Having our attentive support around the home is a great way to maximize your loved one's quality of life. In addition, we'd also like to offer up some crucial suggestions for home alterations that will further increase their safety.  

Household falls are a source of stress for every senior, and many of these falls happen in the kitchen. To improve safety in this commonly used area, there are several steps you can take. The general goal should be convenience and simplicity, so it's important to keep things stored in a way that is easy for seniors to access. Placing hooks on the wall for frequently used pots and pans is a good way to start. This way, they can easily grab them and put them away without straining themselves.

Within the same idea, it is helpful to store spices and other frequently used cooking items at a comfortable height. Find the sweet spot where your loved one doesn't have to bend down or reach up, and this is where you should store the products they use most often. 

By following these simple steps to make their kitchen activity more convenient, you can reduce the chances they will suffer a dangerous fall.
