At Global Quality Home Services, we understand the importance of fall prevention, and our home care services are designed to keep you or your loved one safe in the comfort of your own home. Here are some helpful tips you may find useful to prevent falls from happening in the home.
- Keep Your Home Well-Lit
With our homemaker services, we will ensure all areas are well-lit, especially hallways, stairways, and entrances. Install nightlights in the bedroom and bathroom to help with nighttime trips to the bathroom. - Remove Safety Hazards
Clear walkways of clutter and remove any loose rugs or carpets that could cause tripping. Ensure the cords and wires are tucked away and not in high-traffic areas. - Install Grab Bars and Handrails
Install grab bars in the bathroom, especially in the shower and near the toilet. Handrails should be installed on both sides of the staircase to ensure safety. - Wear Proper Footwear
Proper footwear can provide the support needed to prevent falls. Avoid wearing shoes with slippery soles. - Use Technology
Consider using health monitoring systems to alert caregivers or family members if a fall occurs.
