LIVE WITH GRACE™: Age in Place by Creating a Safer Home Environment

As we age, falls in the home can cause the loss of independent living. In fact, 1 out of 3 seniors aged 65 and older fall each year. Falls account for 25% of hospital admissions and 40% of all nursing home admissions. Nearly half of those admitted to a nursing home will never return to independent living.

Preventing Falls

Falls can be prevented. There are some simple things you can do to keep yourself from falling, such as:

Talk to your doctor and get a fall risk evaluation and medication and side-effect review. Take recommended actions.
Do physician-recommended strength and balance exercises.
Have your eyes checked and keep your prescription current.
Make your home safer by eliminating trip hazards such as area rugs, clutter, and cords.
Install railings on both sides of stairs when possible. Have at least one railing for any stairs in and around your home.
Make sure your home’s interior and exterior is uniformly well lit especially in halls, stairways, and entries.
Store items at waist level that you use often to avoid stooping and step stools.

Make Your Bathroom a Safe Space

Bathrooms are the #1 place for accidents in your home. For people aged 65 and older, up to 80% of falls in the home occur in the bathroom! 66% of all bathroom injuries occur while in the tub or shower. Let HomePride help you preserve your independence by designing a safer bath space with:

Our new shower is fantastic and exceeds my expectations! Highest quality fixtures, subway tile panels, and glass doors. The installation team (Christopher and Sophia) was highly skilled and extremely professional & efficient. Communication was excellent regarding the job specifications. They completed the job quickly and left our bathroom sparkling. Thanks for the beautiful new addition to our home!

I needed an old tub removed and replaced with a good shower. John, our installer, and his team arrived at their scheduled time and were courteous and professional. They took care when they carried the old tub parts and supports out and the new shower forms & parts in to make sure there was no damage to anything.

Great service. Chris and Dan installed our walk-in bath. Did a great job. Ran into a few problems due to the house being 100 years old. They solved every problem, cleaned up and made sure we knew how to run our new tub. They were friendly and professional. We would recommend using Home Pride for any bathroom project.
