3 Steps To Live In Your Home Safely and Happily

Do you have a family member or friend that would like to come for a visit, but can’t? Did you consider that they might be too nervous to navigate the entry to your home, or that they are worried about getting to the bathroom on time?

Have you ever thought about preparing your home for what is to come, and then later wish you had acted on it? Many people think about initiating a plan for down the road, and then when they have an accident, are not prepared.

So, what should we do, and when should we do it?

Not just for your safety, but for others that might be visiting your home.

First, let’s make a plan. As we walk through your home, let us discuss any obstacles that anyone would have to be safe. Are there items on the floor that might be a tripping hazard?

Are there handrails in the proper locations to assist in steadiness going up and down the stairs, outside and inside? Is there a bathroom on the main floor that a visitor who cannot navigate stairs easily can use?

Second, let’s discuss all of the items and decide which needs to be corrected immediately. During this discussion, we will also decide if other items will need to be addressed soon. And the last part of the discussion is what will need to be addressed for a later day. All of this is a consideration of your budget.

Third. We need to pick which accessories fit with the style of your home. There are so many choices, and the selection process can seem daunting, but it really is not. Once the selected items are chosen and ordered, the modifications are simple.

Part of the process is having a professional to work with that can streamline all three steps with you. Working with Setting The Stage LLC is a great solution to start the process.

You will be working with a Certified Aging In Place Specialist, and a Certified Living In Place Professional. I am trained to assess your home, whether it be for hazards, safety issues, vision impairments, and so much more. What can be better than working with a company that has certifications in both, which allows me to work with Seniors, and individuals with disabilities? Having been in the construction industry for the past 35+ years brings the experience that you need.

After the necessary modifications are complete, won’t it be wonderful to have a family gathering, and your aunt or uncle can come and be with their loved ones?
