Creating a safer, more organized living space requires practical modifications that support changing bodies and prevent falls. Simple changes in lighting, organization, and technology can dramatically improve quality of life for seniors aging in place.

• Remove tripping hazards like loose rugs and secure remaining rugs with non-slip backing
• Install bright lighting in hallways and stairways, with motion sensors for nighttime safety
• Add grab bars near toilets, showers, and bathtubs for balance support
• Consider stairlifts for multi-level homes and widen doorways for mobility devices
• Install lever handles on doors and faucets instead of traditional knobs
• Start decluttering one small area at a time using the keep-donate-discard method
• Use clear containers with labels and vertical storage to maximize space
• Choose ergonomic, stable furniture that doesn't move when transitioning
• Select medical alert systems with non-cancellable signals to prevent accidental cancellations
• Explore smart home technology for lighting, temperature, and security control
