Safety Tips for Caretakers

HOW CAN I KEEP MY HOME SAFE FOR MY LOVED ONES?

Keep walking areas clear, improve lighting, and make sure recommended mobility aids and bathroom supports are available. Ask a qualified professional to explain safe movement and transfer techniques rather than improvising. Keep an updated medication list, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for anyone taking over care. Report falls, new dizziness, changes in mobility, or other concerns to the appropriate healthcare professional so the care plan can be reviewed.

BUILD DAILY CARE AROUND YOUR LOVED ONE’S NEEDS AND THE PROVIDER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
