Being an independent senior has never been easier with the number of resources, programs, and services available to help you. Take advantage of the opportunities around you and do not let your age define what you can and cannot do.
There are many things to consider when choosing to remain independent at home. One of the most important is ensuring that the home is safe and accessible.
- moving or securing carpets and loose cords to the floor.
- installing lights in dark areas of the home with easy-to-access switches.
- installing automatic lights outside.
- securing railings inside and out.
- installing assistance rails in bathrooms and anywhere else they are needed.
- installing a chair lift when necessary.
- moving heavy items to waist height shelves and moving frequently used items to lower shelves where they are easily accessible.
- consider a home security system.
