As we age, we all have a desire to remain as independent as possible and remain in our own homes. Lets explore some changes that you can make to promote safety in your existing home.
We discussed that falls are greatest risk factor adults face in their homes. How can we reduce those risk factors? Let’s start from the bottom up! Your flooring- throw rugs and heavy carpeting are a huge tripping hazard that can be avoided. Rugs can slide or roll, they can get caught on walkers or equipment and they can make it difficult to safely ambulate. Low pile carpet, hard surface flooring and eliminating bulky rugs can help promote safety in ambulation. As we age our eyesight can also deteriorate, adding extra lighting such as plug-in sensor lights can help illuminate your way and increase vision in low light areas will aid in safety. Grab bars and railing can also help provide support and balance as your traverse your home and help you to safely navigate. If the stairs are becoming difficult for you to climb, consider a stair lift that will allow you to safely and comfortably reach the next level of your home. There are many solutions available that can be specifically tailored to both you and your home. We would be happy to help you find a solution that works for you!

Technology is one of the fastest growing markets in our world. Advancements in technology can help us stay safe and age in our own homes. This week lets explore a few ways that technology can support and assist us as we age in place.
The market is flooded with “smart” devices and voice activated technology; in your home you can use this to your benefit. Voice activated lights, alarms and even window blinds can help you manage your days. Video doorbells and monitors can help with security, if you have an unexpected visitor you can view and communicate with them without even opening the door. Voice activated appliances and water faucets can help facilitate your day to day life and maintain your independence. Even utilizing a voice activated thermostat to maintain your comfort in your own home, is an option. Many of these devices can be controlled by just speaking a command or even by a smart device such as a phone or tablet.
Other types of assistive devices that may be beneficial to sustaining your independence and safety are things like a medical alert device to dispatch help immediately in the event of an emergency , bed handles or grab bars to assist with mobility and balance, a bath lift to assist in entering or exiting the bathtub. While these devices aren’t as technologically advanced as some of the voice activated options, they can still be very effective safety devices. When considering what type of assistive devices are best suited for you, consider your daily routine and areas that can be difficult or a struggle, with the vast market of devices out there, it is likely that there is a device or solution that can help ease that difficulty.
At Creative Renovations, we are happy to use our knowledge and skills to help you find the adaptive equipment or assistive technology to meet your needs and promote your safety. Visit our website at www.accessibilityrenovations.org for more information or contact us to set up a safety assessment with one of our experts! ... See MoreSee Less
