How To Age Gracefully In The Comfort Of Your Own Home

December 8, 2022 by Lisa Eagan

How To Age Gracefully In The Comfort Of Your Own HomeThere are many people who would rather age in the comfort of their own homes than in a large nursing home somewhere. As people get older, they are more susceptible to slips, trips, and falls. Their joints do not work as well as they used to, they might have a difficult time balancing, and their eyesight may start to fade. If you want to age comfortably in your home, there are a few upgrades you should consider making to your house.

The Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the house because the floor can get slippery. You may want to install some grab bars on the walls, railings next to the toilet, and even an extra seat in the shower. Do not forget to consider installing extra lights to make it easier to see. You may also want to install some flooring that is less slippery than traditional tiles. 

The Floors

You may want to consider installing different floors in other areas of the house as well. For example, you may want to install more carpet in the house, which is less slippery than traditional flooring. You should also consider getting rid of area rugs, as they tend to have tassels that stick out. These tassels can make it easy for someone to trip and fall. 

The Kitchen

Kitchens can also be dangerous. People tend to get forgetful as they get older, and you may forget to turn the stove off. You may want to consider installing stoves that automatically shut off the power after they have been left on for a certain amount of time. You should also consider installing additional lighting in the kitchen that makes it easier to see. That way, you have a lower chance of slipping and falling in the kitchen.

Install Some Home Upgrades To Make It Easier To Age In Place

Everyone is different, and you need to decide what is best for you and your family. If you want at age in the comfort of your home, consider making a few of these upgrades. That way, you can reduce your chances of slipping and falling, and you can enjoy your house for as many years as possible.
