Assessing Home Safety and Preventing Falls

assessing-home-safety-and-preventing-falls

We wanted the best for our loved ones and if we can – we do whatever it is to protect them from pain and suffering. Unfortunately, none of us have the ultimate say in everything. We can only prepare in our best capacity.

This is very true when it comes to safety at home. None of us would want to see our loved ones suffering from a slip or accident. And since it is our place, we can do something about it.

The most effective solutions address the problem. At the start, it is important to assess the safety of the residence. A comprehensive review of the risks present in every room or space as well as potential threats based on the loved one’s condition should also be considered. Would there be problems with movement, navigation, and others?

Is there enough support for members with mobility concerns to move around the home? Are the current support mechanisms – such as stair railings or handrails – strong and reliable? Is there proper housekeeping to prevent objects from obstructing the floors or stairs?

Highlighting safety is getting the most of every help possible. With reliable nursing care, your loved one’s safety can be further improved.
