What are some of the best ways to help seniors stay in their own homes as they grow older? Some easy things to do include improving lighting and decreasing clutter from walkways to help avoid falling/ tripping. Installing bathroom grab bars and widening doorways can also help. Technology can aid with daily tasks such as remembering to take medication, securing windows and doors, and turning off appliances. Medical alert systems are also an option. An in-home care provider can assist with physical movement, and personal care and hygiene to increase the level of support and safety when aging at home.
