Preparing the Home

Ensuring the home environment is safe and senior-friendly is crucial:

  • Safety Measures: Install grab bars, non-slip mats, and ensure well-lit spaces.
  • Accessibility: Consider ramps or stairlifts if mobility is an issue.
  • Gather Essentials: Make sure all necessary medications, equipment, and supplies are readily available.

Discussing the Transition

Open communication is vital:
