Staying Home as You Age
Q:
My wife and I would like to stay in our homes as we age. Do you have suggestions of simple tasks we can do ourselves to accomplish this goal?
A:
Certainly! Start small now and it can make a lot of difference in your day to day quality of life.
- Plug in night lights to prevent future falls
- Move frequently used items to more accessible areas (i.e. a lower shelf)
- Replace doorknobs with door handles for easier access

- Keep pathways open and free of clutter to prevent trips and falls
