All of our communities give our seniors a better quality of life!
If you’re a caregiver for an elderly loved one, you know how important it is to make sure they’re safe at home. Many seniors are unsteady on their feet and need assistance with everyday tasks like getting dressed and using the bathroom. It may have been easier when they were younger, but now that their balance is off, it can be hard to keep them safe.
There are many things you can do to help make sure your parent or grandparent stays safe.
If they’re unsteady on their feet, it’s important to address any risks in their environment. You might want to consider providing handrails or modifying their home to make it easier for them to move about.
And when it comes to the bathroom, there are some easy ways you can make it safer for your loved one. For example, if the toilet is too high for them, adding a seat riser could help them get up on the seat without having to use their arms as much.
It’s also essential to pay attention to any changes in behavior or physical abilities that might indicate a problem with mobility—like falling or tripping—so that you can act quickly if necessary.
We know that feeling of safety is especially significant for those who are elderly or have a disability. That's why we've taken extra measures to ensure our facilities provide the best possible care.
At 428 Healthcare, we understand that caring for your loved one can be challenging. That’s why we have designed our facilities with the needs of your elderly loved ones in mind. Our team of caregivers is specially trained to care for seniors and will ensure that your loved one is comfortable at all times so that you can rest easy knowing he or she is being taken care of properly.
