Senior Care in Seattle

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Renton, we provide in-home senior care throughout the Seattle area. Our goal is to keep your elderly relative safe and secure in their own home. In addition to our one-on-one assistance and friendly companionship, we'd also like to offer some suggestions for home modifications that can reduce injury risks and create a more comfortable environment. Many dangerous falls happen in the bathroom, so let's focus on how we can minimize risk in this area. 

If your loved one's bathroom does not have non-slip mats and grab bars, this is the first place to start. We cannot stress enough how important it is to improve safety around the shower or tub. Even a minor fall can lead to serious injuries that your relative may never fully recover from. These basic additions will allow those with mobility issues to bathe with more comfort and confidence, while reducing the chances of a costly slip and fall.

Another thing to consider is the placement of medication and other essentials. If these items are stored too high, your loved one could have difficulty safely reaching them. If stored too low, they could hurt themselves bending over. It's important to find the sweet spot where they can comfortably access things that they use on a daily basis. 

By taking advantage of these home modifications and securing our in-home senior care, you can preserve a safe and comfortable home life and help your relative avoid moving to a care facility.
