Senior Care in Clinton Township

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Sterling Heights, we offer senior care for Clinton Township area seniors. Our support helps create safer home lives where local seniors can live with dignity and comfort. We understand that seniors are far better off living at home and avoiding the move to a care facility, and we are eager to do everything we can to help make that possible for your loved one. As part of that goal, here are some basic modifications you can make to improve the safety of their home. 

Like most people, seniors spend a lot of time in their living rooms. As a loving relative, it's important to help them maintain a safe environment. First, check all of their chairs to make sure they are stable. A faulty chair leg could lead to a disastrous fall that results in a broken hip or worse.

To decrease fall risk even further, try to reduce clutter as much as possible. This can include removing unnecessary furniture, getting rid of throw rugs, and keeping the area clean. Basically, your goal should be to remove anything they might trip over. 

Lighting is another major aspect of home safety. Providing your loved one with proper lighting will make it easier for them to see potential hazards as they move around. For the living room, consider arranging their furniture so they can access the light switch without getting up. Otherwise, you might consider some type of remote lighting system. 

Building a safer, more comfortable living room is a great way to improve your loved one's overall quality of life.
