Home Safety Tips for Seniors

Did you know that about two-thirds of falls among seniors occur in the home? As a person ages, his or her mobility naturally decreases due to impaired balance and coordination. However, there are a few precautionary measures you can take to ensure that your home is safe for seniors. For example, removing clutter is important to reduce the risk of tripping, and throw rugs should also be removed or secured with a nonstick pad.
