Given all the benefits of living at home, it's important to provide your elderly loved one with the support they need.

We understand how valuable it can be to retain the dignity and privacy of home life, and we are committed to working with your family to make this goal a reality. 

In addition to our direct support, we'd also like to share our tips for increasing home safety and preserving your loved one's home life. Let's take a look. 

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Create a Safer Environment. To prevent household falls, start with problem areas. Many falls occur in the shower or tub, so non-slip mats and handrails can be great additions. To create more safety in the kitchen, make sure that essential items are placed around waist level, allowing your loved one to access them without reaching up or down. It is also important to reduce clutter, maintain proper lighting, and make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work properly. 
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. Keeping up with their medical situation is very important. It will allow you to effectively monitor their medication schedules, prevent risky activities, and anticipate their needs. 
• Utilize A Wearable Emergency Device. When seniors suffer a fall, it can be difficult to get up or find their way to a phone. A wearable emergency device will allow them to seek help without moving.
