Age in Place with These Home Upgrades

If your loved one is already aging at home, you may be unaware of existing hazards around their house. Things like cluttered walkways, poor lighting, and slippery floors can cause falls for the elderly. Our in home care in Missouri City helps local seniors age in place safely. At Visiting Angels^® Sugar Land, you will find that we provide daily assistance, care, and companionship for our clients.

One of the ways you can help your loved one age in place is by making their home safe. Completing a few upgrades now will serve them in the coming years. Most of these modifications are simple and fairly inexpensive.

Here are three easy upgrades to make in your loved one's home:

• Increase lighting. Installing nightlights, using brighter bulbs, and scattering lamps around your loved one's home can help them navigate walkways and rooms safely.
• Install a hand-held shower head. This simple switch can make showering much easier for your loved one. Ensure the head is lightweight for further ease of use.
• Use non-slip mats. Bathrooms and entryways can be slippery. Using rugs with a non-slip backing can keep your loved one more stable and help prevent falls.
