Senior Care in Moore

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

It’s common to want to stay in your home as you enjoy your retirement years. If your loved one has fallen recently at home, consider adding our senior care in the Moore area. The dependable caregivers at Visiting Angels^® Midwest City can help your loved one recuperate so they can get back to independent living as soon as possible. 

Fall Hazards in the Home 

Your loved one’s home is their safe harbor, but it can house some hidden risk if you’re not careful. Watch out for these trip hazards to avoid falls. 

• Area rugs
• Electrical cords
• Door thresholds
• Wet bathroom floors
• Pet toys

Some easy fixes for these problems include using anti-slip mats under area rugs and running electrical cords behind furniture. We all love our four-legged friends, but those toys can be a trip hazard when they’re lying around the house. Keep a toy basket to contain them neatly. 

Uneven door thresholds can be a big trip hazard. Consider having a contractor or handy person level this surface so your loved one’s foot never catches as they enter the front door. If slipping in the bathroom is a concern, install a grab bar in the shower or by the toilet.
