A Safer Home for Senior Citizens

A Safer Home for Senior Citizens


Consider the following to look after the elderly people at home:
  • Install bright lights in dark corners and along stairs.
  • Use non-slip flooring or wall-to-wall carpeting.
  • Buy heavier chairs that won't slide backward or topple over. Choose furniture with rounded edges.
  • Put a coloured stripe on the edge of hard-to-see steps.
  • Use a shower instead of a bathtub.
  • Don't smoke especially in bed.
  • Make prearrangement with your neighbours in case of emergencies.
