Home Safety for Aging Parents
You can take simple steps to protect your family as well as support your aging parents and relatives in creating a secure environment. The older you get, the more important proper lighting becomes. In addition to adequate general lighting, it is recommended that you:
- Have a second light source shining directly on what you need to see.
- Make sure all lamps have shades to prevent glare.
- Put a light switch at the top and bottom of staircases to avoid darkness at either end.
- Don’t leave cords sticking out where people can trip over them.
- Don’t try to do your own electrical work. Hire a licensed professional.
