Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

Maintaining the independence of living at home is very advantageous for seniors. However, many require a bit of help to remain safe and manage daily life. With our in home care in the Converse area, Visiting Angels^® Northeast San Antonio provides the customized assistance needed to keep your loved one out of the assisted living facility. To further protect them from serious falls and discomfort around the home, we would also advise you to consider some of these safety upgrades.

The most important thing you can do is create reduced fall risks around the home. Start by adding more lighting in every room, along with a switch to LED bulbs. 

Bathing presents a very serious fall risk, so grab bars in the tub or shower are a must. Non-slip bathroom mats can limit hazards even further. 

For comfort, consider a walk-in shower unit. This upgrade, combined with the use of a hand-held shower head, makes bathing much easier for seniors with reduced mobility. 

If arthritis or muscle soreness are issues, door knobs need to go. These make it difficult on the wrist, and lever handles are an easy upgrade. For sinks, you can take things even further by installing touch-free light sensor faucets. 

By adapting the environment to reduce injury risks and create more comfort, you can provide your loved one with a setting more conducive to aging in place. However, the most important element in this mission is to secure trusted in home support. Our caregivers provide the help each senior needs to make their daily life easier and more comfortable.
