A clearer route
Check the route between the bed, bathroom and sitting area. Clear clutter and cables, and secure or remove loose rugs.
Light and easy reach
Improve lighting, particularly at night, and keep frequently used items within reach to reduce stretching or climbing.
Support that fits the person
Ask a professional which aids suit the person and how to use them. Needs differ, and a general checklist cannot replace an individual home assessment.
Start with a short walk-through
Walk through the home with your family and note changes to discuss at the visit. Ask for help with tasks that cannot be done safely.
