Moving into senior living is a downsizing guide
A practical guide helps seniors plan a move into senior living by starting small, choosing a low-value room to declutter, reviewing blueprints of the new apartment, and visiting model units. It advises asking core questions about usage, alternatives, sentimental value, and replacement needs to decide what to bring.
Preventing slips and falls in the bathroom
The bathroom, while a sanctuary, can be dangerous due to moisture and hard surfaces. Seniors over 65 face a 25 percent fall risk. Practical steps include cleaning surfaces, decluttering, slip resistant mats, moisture control with doors or curtains, exhaust fans, better lighting, non-slip footwear, walk in showers or tubs, grab bars, and raised toilet seats. Consult a doctor for vision or balance issues.
