In Home Care in Great Barrington

Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® Berkshires, we offer in home care that helps Great Barrington area seniors live extended home lives. It is our goal to help more seniors continue to age in place, saving them from the stress and trauma of relocating to assisted living. In conjunction with our professional in home support, we would also like to recommend some safety modifications that can create an even safer home environment. 

When it comes to protecting seniors, the key is to reduce fall risks. With declining physical abilities, simple daily tasks can become dangerous, so it's a great idea to provide things like hand-railing, non-slip flooring and extra lighting throughout the space. For kitchen cabinets, we encourage you to organize them with the important items at hip to shoulder height. This makes it easier to access for those with reduced mobility. 

Additionally, a change from door knobs to lever handles will help those with arthritis. The same can be said for upgrading your bathroom and kitchen sinks with sensor-style faucets. 

With these home modifications and our dedicated support, you can give your relative a safe and comfortable home life.
