Senior Care in South Kingstown

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

If you’ve been struggling with maintaining your own household and caring for your aging parents, it may be time to explore senior care in South Kingstown. You want to be there for your parents, but it’s impossible to be in their home protecting them at all times. Why not take steps to make your childhood home as safe as possible along with hiring compassionate senior care from Visiting Angels^® Warwick. 

Trip Hazards to Avoid

• Area Rugs
• Staircases
• Pet Toys
• Wet Bathrooms

Losing mobility after a fall is one of the most common ways seniors lose independence. Have you checked the following risk factors in your parents’ home? Place anti-slip mats under area rugs to fix them in place. If your home has a wooden staircase, consider adding a carpet runner or anti-slip tape on each tread. We all love the family pet, but their toys can be a major trip hazard. Round those toys up in a basket located in a common area to minimize risk. If slick bathroom floors have been a problem, consider installing a grab bar near the toilet or in the shower.
