Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels® Tri-Cities, our senior care helps Colonial Heights area seniors live safer lives in their own homes. We offer dedicated support from loving caregivers to reduce injury hazards and make their lives more comfortable in a number of ways. As part of our support, we also want to help you add the right modifications to their home. To reduce falls and other accidents, it's important to remove clutter, add sufficient lighting, and protect against slippery surfaces. 

Non-slip mats are a great addition to their bathroom and kitchen. These surfaces are very helpful when exiting the shower or tub, and they can also protect seniors from falls in the kitchen, where there may be spills or splashed water from doing the dishes. Hand-railing is another great asset for all seniors, particularly those who suffer from declining mobility. Placing these in the shower or tub as well as on the stairs can give them a trusted source of stability in an otherwise hazardous situation. 

Lighting is very important, especially in the bedroom and hallways. Seniors often need to get up and go to the bathroom multiple times per night, so your goal should be to make this route as safe and navigable as possible. Remove clutter and make sure they have a flashlight near their bed. Consider adding hallway lighting with higher wattage or even rope lighting which connects lights in the bathroom and bedroom. 

We are eager to provide assistance around the home and work with you further on creating the safest possible home environment for your parent or relative.
