Good lighting is essential for preventing falls, especially at night. As vision changes with age, dim hallways or poorly lit staircases can become dangerous. Add nightlights in bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways so your loved one never has to walk in the dark. Motion-sensor lights can also be a great addition, automatically brightening the path when someone enters a room. During the day, open curtains and blinds to let in natural light. A bright and welcoming home isn’t just uplifting, it’s a powerful tool for safety.
