Senior Care in Grandview Heights

Creating a safe home environment for your loved one is essential as they age in place. As seniors age and encounter physical challenges, their homes can become more dangerous. Our senior care in Grandview Heights allows seniors to age in place safely and comfortably. Keep reading below to learn more about Visiting Angels^® Columbus West and our services.

Home Safety Tips for Kitchens

The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it can be a dangerous space for seniors who live alone. Reaching for dishes, eating expired foods, and slipping on wet floors are some hazards that occur in the kitchen. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to make your loved one's kitchen more safe.

Here are four safety tips for the kitchen:

• Help your loved one go through food items regularly and discard anything that is expired.
• Ensure the kitchen has a working fire extinguisher.
• Use a "Lazy Susan" to organize frequently-used items on the counter.
• Increase lighting to the highest appropriate wattage for increased visibility.

Enlisting in-home care for your loved one can also create a safe home for them. We are sharing more about our senior care services for the Grandview Heights area below.
