Make your home more senior friendly

When you are thinking about houses which are senior friendly, you need to first think about the availability of home healthcare equipment. Safety in homes for seniors are where they feel comfortable, happy, and independent without the risk of falling.

Most seniors over age 65 want to stay in their current residence for as long as possible and they believe that their current residence is where they will always live.

A majority of seniors want to live at home for as long as possible. They like their feeling of independence. Home care for seniors is healthcare and/or personal care support that could be provided in-home. Home healthcare equipment can help a wide range of seniors and change their homes to senior friendly places.

Seniors most commonly choose home care when they’re ill or recovering from surgery, or when they simply need help with activities of daily living because of “normal aging.”

In this blog we are going to mention some easy, affordable ways to change your house to a safe place that is more senior friendly:

• Increasing light in the house, especially at the front and back entrances, maybe using motion sensors so the lights come on as you approach the entrance.
• Making a safer entrance with a ramp and railings and smooth threshold transitions between rooms and outdoor decks or patios.
• Using safety rails.
• Installing grab bars in the bathroom.
• Using a stair lift or platform lift for safe access to the upper and/or lower level.
• Widen the doorways and hallways to accommodate walkers, rollators, scooters or wheelchairs.
• Installing lever handles to doors, cabinets and faucets for easier opening.
