Is your home safe for your aging loved ones? Low-cost safety tips from AARP: Add textured, no-slip strips in the bathtub and shower. Apply nonslip wax on floors. Replace toilet with a raised or high-profile toilet, or add a toilet seat riser. Add grab rails by the toilet and shower and bath tub area. Step-free entryway has no steps and minimal threshold. There is a free path from the driveway with gentile slopes instead of steps. Remove throw rugs to avoid trip and fall risks. Consider a ramp. Replace standard doorknobs with lever handles. Easier to grip. Requires less dexterity to operate. Eliminate the challenge of needing to use one's entire hand to grasp the handle.
