Keeping the home safe for older adults is not a simple task. It takes a lot of modifications and resources to ensure that a senior's home is as safe as possible. But most of these changes are fairly inexpensive.
Fall safety is one of the most important issues to address in a home. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that older adults are at a higher risk of falls, which can lead to serious injuries.
Home safety for older adults also includes making sure that an older adult's home is fire-safe. Having a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide alarm can help seniors detect potential problems.
Another important issue to consider when preparing a senior's home is safety in the bathroom. Medical Alarms NZ Seniors are at risk of falling in the shower, so make sure that the tiles are slip-resistant. Shower mats and rails are also recommended.
Falls are one of the leading causes of disability and death in the U.S. They happen every second of the day. A senior who falls at home can suffer severe pain for hours. This can have long-term effects on a senior's quality of life.
When it comes to falls, it is critical that older adults have a sturdy step stool. Make sure that the steps are well-lit and that there are handrails at the bottom and top of the stairs. Also, keep furniture out of walkways.
One of the most common safety concerns for elderly adults is clutter. Clutter can impede a senior's movement and increase their chance of falling. To make sure that clutter does not create a hazard, remove cords and remove excess items from the space.
