Falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors, but most are preventable. Whether your loved one lives in Lakewood, Cerritos, La Palma, Artesia, Los Alamitos, Carson Park, Cypress, Buena Park, Rossmoor, or Hawaiian Gardens, our fall prevention specialists can help create a safer home environment.
Start with the Bathroom. Install grab bars near the toilet and in the shower. Add non-slip mats inside and outside the tub. Consider a shower chair or bench. These simple modifications can prevent the most common and dangerous falls.
Improve Lighting. As we age, we need more light to see clearly. Replace dim bulbs with bright LED lights throughout the home. Install nightlights in hallways and bathrooms. Ensure stairways are well-lit at all times.
Remove Trip Hazards. Secure loose rugs with non-slip backing or remove them entirely. Tuck away electrical cords along walls. Keep walkways clear of clutter, especially in high-traffic areas.
Install Safety Features. Add handrails on both sides of staircases. Consider a stair lift if mobility is limited. Install a raised toilet seat and a walk-in tub or shower if budget allows.
Stay Active. Regular, gentle exercise improves balance, strength, and coordination. Our caregivers in Cypress and Buena Park can accompany your loved one on walks and encourage safe physical activity.
