Home Instead Senior Care has put together this helpful list, so that all caregivers can check the senior’s home to make sure that it is safe for everyone. This blog is a service that we are happy to provide to show seniors and elders in the Lafayette IN area how much you are valued by us.

Things to check when doing a home safety inspection:

·     Keep the entrance well lit, and the railing is secure. Make sure that visitors are visible and the lock is in working order.

·     Keep the living area uncluttered, rugs safe for movement, and electric cords safely attached.

·     Check in the kitchen to make sure the faucets, stove burners, and oven is working.

·     In the bedroom, make sure the nightstand is available for personal items.

·     Bathrooms should have safety mats in the tub and fixtures in working condition.
