One of the best things you can do to help care for your loved one battling dementia is help them stay in their home. 9 out of 10 people prefer living in their home and you’ll improve their standard of life by keeping them there. 

But, there are plenty of hazards in the home. Various tripping hazards, security problems, and a lack of supervision can complicate things. 

Many people think you need to do a full home renovation to make it safer for your loved ones to live at home, but you don’t have to. 

In this episode, Blythe Williamson from Safer Senior Life joins me to discuss inexpensive ways

to make the home safer, more secure, and more comfortable so they can avoid the nursing home.

Here Are The Show Highlights:

• Why a full renovation is unnecessary and what to do instead (2:36) 
• A simple bathtub “tweak” that dramatically decreases the chances your loved one falls (3:37) 
• The single best type of ramp to install in your loved ones home (11:03) 
• Why tripping hazards hide in plain sight — especially in the bathroom (12:31)
