Home Safety Tips
Keep walkways clear of clutter, cords, shoes, and other objects.
Secure or remove loose rugs and mats that can shift underfoot.
Improve lighting in hallways, stairways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other low-light areas.
Use night lights along pathways commonly used at night.
Keep frequently used items within easy reach to reduce unnecessary bending, stretching, or climbing.
Use handrails when available and keep stairways free of objects.
Keep floors dry, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
Wear supportive, well-fitting footwear with good traction when appropriate.
Arrange furniture to provide clear walking paths through frequently used rooms.
Store heavy or frequently used items at comfortable heights rather than very high or very low
Home safety starts with awareness. Small changes to your environment can make everyday activities easier and may help reduce common hazards.
