Home modification ensures a senior's safety in the home. The safety changes you make to your elderly parents or senior relatives home should reflect their capabilities. If for example, old age has set with diminished eyesight, installation of optimum lights should be considered. If they have mobility issues, consider installing a ramp on steep paths and staircases. Start by paying particular attention to hazard-prone areas such as the kitchen, stairways and bathrooms. Finally, clearly communicate with the caregiver as to what sort of home modifications could help his or her job when assisting your loved one.
