Hello everyone, I am a home furnishing, sharing real home furnishing cases, bringing you different lifestyles, as well as various experiences and knowledge about home furnishing decoration.
Winter is often the peak period for the elderly to suffer injuries, especially for the elderly who are unable to move.
Because as you get older, there is a risk of falling and injured in the house is increasing, so try to organize the items at home in an orderly manner and clear away unexpected dangers lurking in time.
As you get older, your legs and feet will become weaker and you cannot move flexibly. Next, we will introduce 6 hazards in the home. Pay special attention when you help elderly parents clean and hygienic.
First of all, it is the walkway or passage at home. Any items that hinder walking are dangerous. Please remove them as much as possible.
After all, when I was young, I could stand up quickly even if I fell, but when I was older, it was not that easy. If the elderly at home have the habit of putting things on the aisle, please take this opportunity to change it. Some people like to put mat in front of the door, so you must anti-slip . Furniture and boxes are not suitable. Touching and knocking will become a lifelong regret.
If there is large furniture, or if you stack things nearby block window , door and other places where light enters and exits, this will cause insufficient light in the room and cause dimness, so you should move it away in time.
After all, as you get older, you are prone to diseases such as cataract and glaucoma . If you cannot clearly see the items in the room, you may trip and cause injury. Therefore, be sure to ensure that has sufficient light. Another point is that when installing lamp , you should also pay attention to the location and try to avoid floor lamp , so that the wires are easily hung to the feet.
Replace broken furniture (chairs, sofas, etc.) with new ones, as well as household appliances.
The elderly are generally more economical. If the furniture, floors and electrical appliances are broken, they are reluctant to throw them away. I think this is very dangerous. Since the elderly live on pensions, even if there are some damages in their housing, they are often unwilling to spend money to replace or repair them, and will not immediately consider what to do. As relatives, they should repair or replace them in time.
. Expired items
throw away old items such as expired medicines, cosmetics and food.
The elderly have weak immune systems, so using expired items is more likely to cause problems. Many people will not discard expired items because they think it is a waste. In fact, it is not a lot of need, but a habit of being reluctant to throw it away. After all, medicines and cosmetics are constantly being updated, and buying too much is a real waste. So if you only buy enough of the required amount when you need it, you can use the product that suits you the most.
5. Unnecessary accessories
The elderly showcase many different hobbies, who has not ordered souvenirs and collectibles yet.
Such as some bottles, cans, statues, and decorations purchased when traveling, but excessive decorations can be dangerous. It is very common for the body or vacuum cleaner to hit the cabinet when cleaning. Sometimes, it may fall from it if you shake it a little. Especially pottery and glass products , if they fall to the ground and break, isn’t it very dangerous, right? Cleaning is also very troublesome. When it comes to decoration, it is best to focus on what you really want to decorate, which will look better.
6. Other dangerous things
throw away other things that are obviously dangerous to the elderly.
Also, the clothes you wear can also be dangerous, such as wearing long pants (such as pajamas), you may step on the hem and fall down. If the skirt is too long, you may step on it when you go down the stairs. Shoes with slippery soles are also dangerous.#Guarding the Silver Age World# Conclusion: The above introduces 6 types of dangerous sources that need to be removed in time for the homes of the elderly, and is also suitable for families with children. Let’s start by throwing away the dangerous items, making life easier and more reassuring. If you have any other things to pay attention to, please add it in the comment section, thank you.
