Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® St. Clair, our in home care provides a terrific solution for Fort Gratiot area seniors. We offer your loved one the chance to avoid the nursing facility and continue living at home. Our care is all about providing assistance and companionship from a kind and friendly caregiver. In conjunction with our service, you can also increase their safety and make an extended home life more possible by taking advantage of some basic home upgrades to reduce fall risks. 

Falls are a serious threat for most seniors. Due to declining mobility, vision and other abilities, these falls can happen at any time. Taking proactive steps to reduce hazards around the home is vital for the ongoing safety of your loved one. The best place to start is in the bathroom, since many falls happen while entering or exiting the shower. 

Grab bars in the shower or tub are very important. The simple act of having something to hold while entering the slippery surface can make all the difference. We also recommend buying some non-slip floor mats and installing a hand-held shower head. For the rest of the residence, adding more lighting and switching to LED bulbs can help combat declining vision and minimize the risk of an accident.

These simple upgrades can have a huge impact on your relative's safety. However, the most important element of their ongoing home life, is securing professional in home care from one of our caregivers in the Fort Gratiot Area. We can be there to keep them safe, happy, and accompanied throughout their day, allowing them to remain at home and avoid the need for an assisted care facility.
