What Aging In Place Really Means: Understanding The Reality Of Growing Old At Home

[@mezzoishere]

I agree completely!!

Thanks! I sure do hope those folks in the photo actually see this video and take action.

[@wendykornfein3337]

I need this reminder. Thank you.

[@SeniorSafetyAdvice]

You are welcome! The house looked nice though. It just needed to be decluttered and made safer. I would love to see these two homeowners live there for the rest of their lives. Wouldn't that be nice?

@@SeniorSafetyAdvice It's the two steps, that can't be changed, I don't think.

Agree about glass tables. However, the rug appears to be securely duct-taped down.

[@SeniorSafetyAdvice]

Yeah, I know that many people duct tape or get the skid free rugs but still, they are a small elevation and it's just not worth it, in my opinion to risk tripping over it. Then again, I am biased. I've seen so many older adults crippled or completely unable to live alone any longer simply because they tripped over their rug and suffered injuries that were not able to be repaired.
It's just sad.

The steps get rid of the folding doors and get some hand rails on the steps. Or a ramp.

[@SeniorSafetyAdvice]

Yes, I did mention that and absolutely!!

[@MyShyCats]

The dining chairs with their backs to the steps on a slippery floor too close to the steps!!

[@SeniorSafetyAdvice]

OMG, yes that's true. There are SO MANY things wrong in this picture!!! I truly do hope that this couple watches this video.

[@MyShyCats]

Glass tables, glass doors, glass shower doors OMG hazard!!!

[@SeniorSafetyAdvice]

I know!!! What are they thinking?!!
