Safety At Home

Use your good judgment:

• If you feel weak or unsteady, let someone else change the light bulbs. Skip the shower, and opt for sponge baths.
• If you live alone and feel very weak, ask someone to check in on you.
• Do what you can to avoid falls. Put away throw rugs. Keep walkways and stairs clear. Clean up spills promptly. Don’t wax floors.
• In the event of a power outage, keep a flashlight handy. Also keep a working telephone available.
• Pay attention to the expiration dates of your medication. Throw out old medications.
