In Home Care in Dudley

Age in Place With These Home Upgrades

At Visiting Angels^® Southbridge, we deliver helpful in home care for Dudley area seniors. Our goal is to maintain a safer home life for your loved one, helping them to reduce injury risks and avoid the need for an assisted care facility. As a crucial part of this effort, we would like to suggest some home upgrades for a safer and simpler home life. 

Falls can be disastrous for seniors. Limiting risks around the home is critical, and the bathroom is the first place to start. Many falls happen in the shower or tub, so the first thing to do is install hand-railing. If it's possible to upgrade to a walk-in shower unit, this will help greatly as well. We also encourage you to put non-slip floor mats in the bathroom, and to install a handheld shower head. 

To keep things more accessible in the kitchen, you should put frequently used items at hip to shoulder height in the cupboards. Even the most seemingly harmless of movements can lead to injury, so simplifying daily life in little ways like these can make a huge difference. 

If you want the absolute best for your elderly relative, keeping them at home with our loving support is the best call. When you combine our attentive care with some of these helpful home adjustments, you can create a safe and sustainable home environment where they can comfortably age in place.
