Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® Warwick, we understand the importance of creating a safe and sustainable home life. Our in home care helps Westerly area seniors avoid the move to assisted living and continue aging in place. In addition to the direct support provided by our attentive caregivers, we would also like to suggest some great home improvements you can make to build a safer environment. 

Cutting down on fall hazards is crucial for your loved one's safety. To reduce these risks as much as possible, we start by targeting areas where accidents frequently occur. This means equipping the bathroom with grab bars, non-slip mats, and a hand-held shower head. If possible, you can increase safety even further by installing a walk-in shower unit.

Grab bars also make a lot of sense on any stairways in the residence. Additionally, you can make the environment less hazardous by adding more lighting and using LED bulbs. 

For kitchen comfort and convenience, rearrange essential items so they are in waist-high cabinets. This will allow them to access these frequently-used items without any physical strain. 

Our care, along with these upgrades, is the most effective way to create a safe home life. We will work with you to develop a specific care plan and discuss further home safety tips that will allow your relative to avoid the assisted living facility and enjoy a more comfortable life.
