Senior Care in Byron

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Central Georgia, our mission is to improve home safety for local seniors. Our senior care in Byron provides warm, loving support from attentive caregivers who work hard to reduce fall hazards and create a more comfortable living space. As part of this effort, we also provide home safety tips for every family. Since a great number of falls happen in the bathroom and shower, we would like to focus on this area. 

Stepping in and out of the shower can be extremely hazardous for seniors, especially those with some kind of physical issue. The first step is to add non-slip mats to the bathroom. This is a quick and easy solution that will make it much easier for them to safely enter and exit the shower. Another excellent solution is to add grab bars near the shower/tub and toilet. 

You'll also want to check if their toilet seat and bathtub are the correct height. If they have a claw tub or some other type of raised area, pop in to your local medical supply store and see what they have for this issue. For toilet seats that are too high, you'll need to contact your plumber. While all of this may seem tedious, these measures can be crucial for your loved one's safety and comfort. 

Our Senior Care Options in Byron

As part of our commitment to provide excellent service for each senior, we always customize our care plans to match their needs. One of the biggest benefits of remaining at home and avoiding the transition to a care facility is that seniors get to remain more independent and in control of their daily lives. We aim to support this by providing assistance as needed, without stepping too far and taking away their autonomy. 

Depending on your loved one's specific needs, some of our potential care duties may include:

• Light housework and meal prep
• Medication reminders
• Bathing and grooming assistance
• Dedicated Alzheimer's or dementia support
• Mobility aid and transportation 
• Healthy exercise routines
• Positive companionship
• And much more!
