Helpful Tips for Senior-Proofing Your Home
Tip #1: Lighting is Safety
Install motion-sensor night lights in hallways and bathrooms to reduce nighttime falls.
Tip #2: Swap Out Rugs
Loose rugs and mats are a common tripping hazard. Replace them with low-profile, non-slip alternatives or remove them altogether.
Tip #3: Bathroom = Danger Zone
Install a grab rail near the toilet and in the shower — it’s one of the most effective improvements for preventing falls.
