Safety
As individuals age, the decline in mobility heightens the risk of falls. For elderly and disabled adults, routine activities like navigating stairs, entering and exiting the shower, or simply transitioning between sitting and standing positions can pose serious injury threats. Beyond immediate injuries, such events can lead to a substantial loss of mobility and independence for the vulnerable population
Our caregivers are well-versed in minimizing the risk of falls within the home environment. Understanding the potential hazards, we offer assistance in coordinating additional services to safeguard your home and protect your loved ones.
Additionally, you can take proactive steps to eliminate risks by following these helpful tips:
1. Secure welcome mats and throw rugs with tape to prevent tripping or slipping.
2. Install night lights in dimly lit areas such as hallways and bathrooms.
3. Incorporate non-slip mats in high-risk zones like the kitchen and bathroom.
4. Add handrails in critical areas such as showers, near toilets, or any location requiring additional support.
