Assisted Home Care in Owasso

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

At Visiting Angels^® Tulsa, the safety of local seniors is our top concern. We offer assisted home care in the Owasso area to support seniors in their own homes and preserve a safe, fulfilling home life. In addition to our support, another great way to improve their safety is to make some basic modifications to their homes. Since the kitchen is a place where many seniors suffer falls and other accidents, we will turn our attention to this area. 

As a starting point, place emergency contact information on the refrigerator using a magnet. This will give them easy access in the event of an emergency. Eliminate unnecessary furniture items and make sure to organize essentials so they are easy to access. Find a counter level where your loved one doesn't have to exert themselves to reach it. Also, wall hooks for commonly used pots and pans are a great way to reduce clutter and make these items easier to access. 

To reduce fall risks, encourage them to never walk on a wet floor and to wear non-slip shoes when in the kitchen. These can be found at most basic shoe stores, as they are a common purchase for restaurant employees. If possible, you could even remodel their kitchen and put in a less slippery surface. 

Making these simple adjustments to their kitchen can allow them to live with more comfort and independence, while providing loving family members with some crucial peace of mind.
