In this article we recommend actions to improve the senior-friendliness of your home. These are Alert1’s simple steps to reduce your chances of falls or other incidents.
Kitchen Safety
As you progress in life, you’re prone to overlook day to day actions. This can be especially threatening in the kitchen with open flames, leaking pipes or sharp objects. You may consider installing a smart cooking range that switches off when left unattended. The smart cooking range will also alert your loved ones of a potential incident. You can read other recommendations on modern kitchen appliances here.
How can you better keep kitchen surfaces and floors dry? You never know when your next spill could happen. A great way to detect broken plumbing or dampness is to install leak sensors near appliances and pipes carrying water. Also slip resistant mats are a must have for areas that collect water or oils. These kitchen safety solutions will keep you out of the frying pan and away from the fire!

Bathroom Safety
As we age, the bathroom becomes a difficult area to navigate. Many of you have concerns about bathing as most falls occur when leaving the shower. Installing a grab bar in the shower can steady your balance and reduce the likelihood of falls. Grab bars are an affordable option to install in your personal shower. An alternative option to the standup shower is a walk-in bath tub.
To keep both your privacy and safety while using the bathroom, you should consider these new technologies. As many incidents happen in the bathroom, precautionary measures can save you from a world of trouble. The cutting-edge bathroom technologies of today are upping the creature comforts of the standard commode. These bathroom recommendations go hand in hand with personal alert buttons, as all our tech is showerproof.
