Have
passages and bathrooms well lit. Generally
seniors fall as they do not see properly
in dim light and misjudge footsteps. Well
known Orthopedic Surgeon say’s 80% accidents
take place on stairs, or in toilets.
Have
guard bars for seniors to walk from their
bed to bathroom. To help them get up from
the commode, provide guard bars on which
they can take support.
Bathrooms
should be very well ventilated. People
generally fall unconscious or feel suffocated
due to lack of oxygen. Especially when
you have gas geysers.
You
can also provide remote control to Senior
Citizen to operate lights, fans and other
gadgets.
Providing
panic switches to Senior Citizen will
prove a big boon and will ensure them
quick help, when required.
Keeping
oxygen cylinder will help gasping/ asthma
seniors.
