Here how to make a home senior friendly
Appropriate flooring: Appropriate flooring in the kitchen and elsewhere in the house is a top priority.
Need a lift: Not everyone is fortunate to live in one-story accommodation.
Be alarmed: Make sure the home is fitted throughout with smoke/fire alarms. They are designed to save lives, young and old.
Get a grip: Similarly, it's a good idea to add non-slip flooring in the entry way inside the home.
Fill in the cracks: Access to accommodation needs to be smooth and level. Repave and reconstruct approaches—paths, driveways, etc.
Get yourself covered: A covered entryway into the home is always an asset.
Take time out: A bench placed near the front or back door is a good idea, and allows the tired and elderly to relax.
Elevate your position: Essentially, an elevator should serve an apartment building.
Ramp it up: If possible, create a flush-entry with ramps.
Opt for single story accommodation: The ideal senior-friendly abode should be a single-story accommodation unit.
