Safety Modifications for Senior Home Access and Mobility
AARP offers home safety tips for seniors including improved exterior pathway lighting and stair lighting with night lights, glow switches, and full spectrum bulbs. Increase closet lighting, use halogen bulbs to reduce glare, and open curtains for daylight. Add automatic night lights, magnifiers, accessible kitchen lighting, and visible stove controls. Consider walk in showers, bath seats, adjustable shower heads, auto closing drawers, low closet rods, and easy lever door handles. Place a chair by the door for packages and use rocker switches. Ensure clear pathways by removing obstacles and taping cords to walls, keep stairs uncluttered with secure railings, illuminate dark areas, and provide bed and outdoor lighting for guests.
