Instead of moving to retirement communities, more Canadians are opting to &#8220;age in place&#8221; and remain in their homes as they age. This often necessitates home modifications to ensure their safety and health as their physical abilities decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seniors and Aging-in-Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new career field has risen to address this need: the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), a program of the National Association of Home Builders (www.nahb.org). CAPS certified specialists assess homes to identify and recommend modifications to prevent injuries from falls and other risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veterans.gc.ca\/en\">Veteran Affairs Canada<\/a>, one third of Canadians age 65 and over fall each year. Veteran Affairs Canada adds that environmental factors lead to about half of all falls that occur at home. These include slipping and tripping hazards, poor lighting, or lack of needed modifications, such as bathroom grab bars, handicapped showers, stair railings and ramps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For more information, visit the Veterans Affairs website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vac-acc.gc.ca\/clients\/sub.cfm?source=health\/fallsp\">Falls Prevention Initiative<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home modifications help seniors maintain quality of life because they prevent injuries and loss of independence from early admission to an assisted living or long-term care facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aging-in-Place<\/strong> <strong> and Examples of Commonly Recommended Modifications for Senior Homes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install grab bars for toilets and tubs and install a walk-in tub and\/or tub seat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove unnecessary throw rugs and fasten down rugs or floor runners to prevent slipping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move furniture to create clear walking paths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep objects off the floor and coil or secure cords to the wall to prevent tripping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace knobs with lever door handles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply non-slip tape on uncarpeted indoor and outdoor steps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace standard light switches with rocker-style switches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase the width of doorways and hallways to accommodate wheelchairs, and where possible, lower sinks and countertops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move often-used items to lower cabinets to avoid the need for step stools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair or replace loose handrails and install adequate lighting in stairways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install an elevator or chair lift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install an elevated dishwasher or one with drawers for easy access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace old stoves with induction cook tops to help prevent burns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace ceramic tile floors with hardwood or vinyl for safe standing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shedding Light on Senior Home Modification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When modifying a home for a senior don\u2019t forget the importance of good lighting. Seniors need two to three times as much light to see as well as younger people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Good Lighting\u2014in the form of natural light\u2014Provides Seniors With Advantages Besides Safety:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sunlight produces a good dose of Vitamin D, which helps the body absorb more calcium to strengthen teeth and bones. Choose window treatments that allow in sunlight, without glare, to enhance the health of seniors, many of whom get outside less than they used to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daylight also uplifts psychological health. It lessens the energy-zapping effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and other forms of depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
