How to Make Home Safe for Elderly
Individuals who choose to live at home might consider certain lifestyle and home modifications to help ensure their health, safety, and overall satisfaction while aging in place. In-home safety measures to age in place can include: repairing or installing stair rails, removing tripping hazards, providing visual aids for depth perception, providing motion activated lighting, installing anti-scald devices, and softening hard surfaces.
