Kitchen Safety Tips for Seniors Receiving In-Home Care
While we all need a good kitchen space, it can be a dangerous room, especially for senior citizens. Fortunately, Visiting Angels has some great kitchen safety tips for caregivers who work with seniors. Keeping all drawers and cabinet doors closed is a simple way to prevent falls. Store heavy pots and pans where they can easily be reached. Remove any tripping hazards such as throw rugs. Make sure the flooring is non-slip tile or another material with some traction. Convert lower cabinets to pull-out drawers for easier access. Ultimately, taking measures to create a safe kitchen will prevent injuries in the home.
