Because of this, it is imperative to make necessary modifications to the home surroundings to ensure your living space is safe and easily accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout your house, consider implementing the following home safety tips for Parkinson&#8217;s:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reduce clutter and get rid of obstacles on the floor, such as rugs and extension cords, to prevent trips and falls.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install smooth, slip-free flooring.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure there is good lighting throughout your home to minimize shadows and dark areas, and place nightlights in hallways between bedrooms and bathrooms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make lighting accessible and convenient by installing things like motion sensors and placing light switches next to doors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove raised thresholds or add threshold ramps to doorways.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install grab bars throughout your home to help with balance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arrange furniture to ensure clear, wide walkways, which also helps those using mobility aids.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure that furniture is stable and that chairs have armrests and are at an adequate height to make standing easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Replace circular door knobs with lever handle door knobs for easier opening.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure there is an easily accessible phone in common areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bedrooms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While your bedroom should be a quiet and relaxing place, this room also presents unique challenges for those <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/texas\/westaustin\/blog\/living-with-parkinsons-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">living with PD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Consider these changes to your bedroom:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure bed height allows your feet to touch the floor when seated on the bed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use sheets with light, slippery fabric (such as satin sheets) to make changing positions easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Avoid heavyweight sheets and pajamas that make it difficult to change positions while in bed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use bed rails or a bed-assist handle to help get in and out of bed safely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Place a bedside commode near the bed for night use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make lighting easily accessible and use nightlights to light the way to the bathroom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Place a phone on the nightstand for easy nighttime access.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bathrooms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since most falls occur in the bathroom, it\u2019s imperative that you make adjustments to ensure you or your loved one can safely navigate the bathroom. Here are some modifications to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install grab bars by the toilet, tub, in the shower, and wherever you might need assistance to help maintain balance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a shower seat or install a bench in the shower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Replace the bathtub with a roll-in, barrier-free shower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a raised toilet seat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install faucets that are single-handle or automatic touch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add non-slip mats to the tub or shower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provide seating for tasks like brushing teeth or shaving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always have a phone or med alert device in case of an emergency.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kitchen<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those living with PD may find it difficult to safely manage kitchen tasks and navigate this area of the home. Changes in balance can make it difficult to open refrigerator and oven doors. Plus, attempting to reach high shelves or even carrying objects from the kitchen to the table can lead to falls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The right kitchen modifications and adaptive kitchen technologies will allow you to continue to use your kitchen safely. To help minimize the risk of injury, consider these tips for kitchen safety:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install a single-handle or automatic-touch sink faucet that\u2019s easier to turn off and on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Store frequently used kitchen items in easy-to-reach drawers, cabinets, and shelves to avoid having to reach or bend over to find them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install cabinet handles instead of knobs to make it easier to open cabinets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a long-handled grabber to retrieve items from high shelves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use non-slip rubber mats for countertops to stabilize cutting boards, mixing bowls, and dinnerware.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lower countertops to allow easy access for those using walkers or wheelchairs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use adaptive utensils, such as those with easy-to-grip handles or swivel utensils.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a kettle tipper to help prevent burns and spills when pouring hot water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install a stove\/oven temperature controller with large buttons to avoid unwanted temperatures.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a home safety checklist, check out the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkinson.org\/living-with-parkinsons\/management\/activities-daily-living\/home-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parkinson\u2019s Foundation Home Safety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> page, and explore their website for other useful information on understanding the disease and how to support those with PD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Assisting Hands West Austin Can Help<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Assisting Hands West Austin, our compassionate caregivers are trained to provide personalized <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/texas\/westaustin\/blog\/understanding-and-supporting-those-affected-with-parkinsons-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">support for individuals living with Parkinson\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
