Mobility Challenges & The Holidays

Holiday safety is essential for those with mobility challenges, as seasonal activities and decorations can present unique risks. Clear walkways and remove tripping hazards like loose rugs, holiday lights, and cords. Arrange decorations thoughtfully, avoiding clutter or items on the floor, and opt for non-slip mats if winter weather makes entrances slippery. During gatherings, ensure seating and accessible pathways are readily available. If traveling, plan ahead for wheelchair-accessible transportation and accommodations. Encourage family and friends to assist as needed and keep emergency contacts readily accessible. With small adjustments, everyone can enjoy a safe, inclusive, and joyful holiday season.
