According to a study by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), almost 90% of people who are near their retirement age prefer to stay in their homes. If you’re planning to make your home safer as you age, you need to work with trusted home remodeling contractors who can install the necessary upgrades. Design Build Remodeling Group of Maryland shares a few safety tips you need to consider:
Appliance-monitoring systems are great for the elderly who are living on their own or if you’re taking care of a parent who has dementia. These systems can detect any unusual activity and send alerts for an immediate response. You can even choose to install systems that can turn off appliances remotely for better convenience and added safety!
Trip hazards can be found in and around your home, and they can range from low tables and electrical cords to small pets, toys and even children who often run around your home. As a specialist among interior and new addition contractors, we recommend having all your wires and cords covered as well as install non-slip flooring. Any sign of cracks, roots or rocks should be taken care of so that you get a clear pathway around your home and backyard.
With a properly installed video doorbell, you have the convenience of seeing who’s at the door without having to open it. Some systems can also stream the video to your smartphone so that there’s no need to check and identify the person physically. This also adds more safety and security as you’re able to communicate with the person while being safely locked inside.
