It is obvious that as one ages, their bodies are unable to maintain the physical fitness they enjoyed during their younger years.
For example, the deterioration of sight and hearing can result in the inability to see or hear hazard warnings as clearly as before, and eventually leave an elderly person vulnerable to danger. Even though they may be aware of where their belongings are stored, accidents can happen in the home due to clumsiness or letting their guard down at potential household hazards.Installing grab bars or handrails in the bathrooms can help prevent falls from water slips or in case of sudden drowsiness.
If the floors must be waxed, polished or mopped, the elderly in the home should be notified to prevent them from walking around too much. Extension cords and other potential tripping hazards that may present themselves on the floor should also be kept away safely.The house should be well illuminated in order to aid their vision as their sight deteriorates with age. However, this does not necessarily mean changing the entire house into a light shop or becoming the brightest house in the neighbourhood.
This may be done by also observing your love one’s walking habits so you know which areas they directly or indirectly pass through often while at home.
