Spring Refresh: Enhancing Safety at Home for Seniors

Executive Home Care Shares Tips on Decluttering and Fall Prevention

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As spring arrives, it's the perfect time for families to refresh their homes by decluttering and improving safety—especially for seniors. Falls remain a leading cause of injury for older adults, making it essential to create a safe, organized living space. Executive Home Care, a trusted provider of in-home care services, offers expert guidance and assistance in helping families make their loved ones' homes safer and more comfortable.

"Spring cleaning isn't just about tidying up; it's about ensuring that seniors can navigate their homes safely and with confidence," said Paul Tis, Brand President of Executive Home Care. "By reducing clutter, improving lighting, and making small modifications, we can significantly lower fall risks and enhance overall well-being."

Tips for a safer, clutter-free home for seniors include:

1. Declutter Walkways & High-Traffic Areas – Remove loose rugs, cords, and unnecessary furniture to create clear walking paths, reducing the risk of trips and falls.
2. Improve Lighting – Increase brightness in hallways, staircases, and frequently used rooms with nightlights and motion-sensor lighting.
3. Secure Handrails & Grab Bars – Install sturdy railings along stairways and grab bars in bathrooms to assist with balance and stability.
4. Rearrange Essentials for Accessibility – Keep frequently used items within easy reach to prevent seniors from overextending or using unstable furniture for support.
5. Review Medications & Emergency Plans – Ensure seniors have easy access to emergency contacts and that medication storage is well-organized and up to date.
