Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Kansas City, we help to extend the home lives of local seniors. Our senior care in the Lenexa area includes dedicated in-home support from compassionate senior care professionals. We also offer companionship, flexible scheduling, and many other great benefits. To help you create the most comfortable and safe environment for your loved one, we would also like to offer home safety tips. 

Falls and other accidents are very common around the home, so it's important to take basic steps to minimize these risks and create an easier daily life for your loved one. Here are our top recommendations for each area of their home:

• Bedroom: Reduce clutter and keep a flashlight and cell phone on their nightstand at all times.
• Bathroom: Install grab bars near the toilet and in the shower and add non-slip mats.
• Kitchen: Organize daily essentials on a shelf that is waist high, so that they don't have to bend down or reach up.
• Living Room: Remove unnecessary furniture, check chairs for stability, and make sure they have easy access to the light switch.
• Hallway: Install smoke detectors and check them periodically for working batteries.
• Garage: Remove dangerous equipment and remind them to always close the door in the evenings.
• Laundry Room and Basement: Place laundry detergents into smaller containers so they can easily use them.
