The Ultimate Senior Home Safety Checklist
Falls are a leading cause of injury for seniors. Many of these falls occur at home and are entirely preventable with simple modifications.
Living Areas and Hallways
Clear the clutter. Ensure all walkways are wide and free of loose rugs, cords, or low furniture.
Key Considerations
- Remove all throw rugs or secure them with double-sided tape.
- Ensure excellent lighting, especially near stairs.
- Keep frequently used items within easy reach.
Bathroom Safety
The bathroom is the highest-risk area in the home.
Key Considerations
- Install grab bars in the shower and near the toilet.
- Use non-slip mats inside and outside the shower.
- Consider a shower chair or a raised toilet seat.
A safe home extends independence. If the modifications required are too extensive, it may be time to explore barrier-free senior living options.
