As spring arrives, it’s a great time to refresh your home and make it safer—especially if you plan to age in place. Falls are a leading cause of injury for older adults, but many can be prevented with simple home updates.
Declutter: Remove tripping hazards like loose rugs, cords, and clutter in hallways.
Improve lighting: Swap in brighter bulbs and add nightlights to boost visibility, especially at night.
Boost safety: Install grab bars, handrails, and non-slip mats to reduce fall risks in key areas like bathrooms and stairs.
